Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

1/3 cup creme fraiche
2 teaspoons chopped fresh mint, plus mint sprigs for garnish
2 teaspoons fresh lemon juice
2 to 3 teaspoons milk
Salt and freshly ground pepper, to taste
12 ripe figs, a single variety or a mixture
6 ounces St-Andre or other triple-cream cheese, such as Explorateur, cut into 12 wedges
3 ounces thinly sliced prosciutto

Steps:

  • In a small bowl, whisk together the creme fraiche, chopped mint, lemon juice and as much of the milk as needed to form a thick, creamy consistency. Season with salt and pepper. Halve the figs and arrange them on individual plates or a platter. Intersperse the wedges of cheese among the figs. Drape the prosciutto around the figs and drizzle with the creme fraiche mixture. Garnish with mint sprigs and serve.
