Grilled Figs and Prosciutto

I love figs and I love prosciutto and when the two are grilled together it’s heaven!  The sweetness of summer figs paired with the salty prosciutto make this the perfect summer appetizer.  This is a really quick appetizer and can be made ahead of time.  Cut the stem off the figs and cut in half.  Take the strips of prosciutto and cut them in half lengthwise.  Wrap the prosciutto around the figs and spray lightly with olive oil and place on the grill or broil until the prosciutto is lightly browned on both sides – about 3 minutes each side and serve.  You can also put a little goat cheese or blue cheese in the fig and wrap it with prosciutto.  The figs are wonderful placed on top of a summer salad of mixed baby greens, toasted hazelnuts, and a blue cheese dressing or roughly chop them and serve alongside a grilled pork chop.  Click here for the recipe….
