Yield makes 40 pieces

Number Of Ingredients 5

40 small fresh Mission figs
4 ounces manchego cheese or blue cheese
20 slices prosciutto, halved lengthwise
1/3 cup honey
Freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 400°F. Make a small slit in the side of each fig and stuff a raisin-size piece of cheese in the opening. Wrap a piece of prosciutto around each fig to enclose it in a little cocoon. Stand the figs on a sheet pan. Bake for 12 to 15 minutes so the prosciutto melts slightly and forms a skin around the figs. Drizzle with honey and season with lots of ground black pepper. These are terrific hot or at room temp.
