Oh how I love fresh figs! They are in season late summer into the fall and I recently spotted some Black Mission Figs at my grocery store. I’ve used fresh figs as a dessert (Grilled Mission Figs with Mascarpone and Spiced Honey) and as a main dish (Prosciutto, Fig, and Arugula Flatbread) in previous recipes so I decided to do a quick and really simple appetizer or hors d’oeuvres recipe this time around.
These are exactly what the title says, figs wrapped in prosciutto and roasted until the figs are warm and juicy and the prosciutto is crispy.
Ingredients (serves 6):
- 1 dozen figs
- 6 thin slices of prosciutto, sliced in half lengthwise
- salt and pepper, to taste
