Wrapped | I Can Cook That

From August to October, figs are in season. Whenever I come across fresh figs, I just have to buy them!

I’ve shared recipes in the past using this yummy ingredient — everything from adding it to a flatbread to turning it into a cookie filling to using it in a jam.

So today I figured I’d go a little simpler with a favorite appetizer: Bacon Wrapped Stuffed Figs!

This recipe is so easy, and uses just 4 ingredients. They are great for parties or just as an appetizer with friends.

Ingredients:

12 fresh black mission figs
2 oz blue cheese
6 slices of bacon, cut in half crosswise
freshly ground pepper, to taste

Note: you’ll need toothpicks for this recipe

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
