Christmas Prosciutto Wrapped Figs with Blue Cheese

12/19/2017

Do you have a Christmas party coming up where:

a) You want to impress your guests?
b) Have little time to be slaving away in the kitchen?
c) (or most importantly) Have a love for blue cheese?

Then our Georgia has an entree recipe for you. She first tried this dish at a dinner party and like everyone else at the table was so blown away by the complementary flavours.

WHAT YOU NEED:

4 ripe but firm figs
8 slices prosciutto
75g Italian blue cheese, chopped into small pieces
Balsamic vinegar, to drizzle
Extra virgin olive oil, to drizzle
Freshly ground black pepper and himalayan sea salt, to season
Rocket leaves, to serve

WHAT YOU DO:

Preheat the oven to 180 degrees celsius.
Gently cut each fig into quarters, making sure not to cut through to the bottom so the fig is still connected.
Divide the blue cheese among the figs, stuffing the pieces into the top of them.
Carefully wrap 2 slices of prosciutto around the middle of each fig, leaving the tops uncovered.
Place the prepared figs onto a baking tray and cook for 10-15 minutes, or until the cheese has melted and the prosciutto is crisp.
To serve, divide the rocket leaves among four serving plates. Place one roasted fig on top of each pile of rocket.
Drizzle over the balsamic vinegar and olive oil. Season with freshly ground black pepper and himalayan sea salt.

***Original recipe from 'the Aunty of Angus' who is clearly knows how to entertain!
