Best Prosciutto Crostini And Fresh Figs With Gorgonzola Recipes

PROSCIUTTO CROSTINI AND FRESH FIGS WITH GORGONZOLA

Steps:

• Preheat broiler. Cut baguette into 20 slices (each about 1/4 inch thick); transfer to a baking sheet. Brush tops with oil. Broil until golden, 1 to 2 minutes.
• When bread is cool enough to handle, spoon 1 teaspoon cheese onto each round. Arrange a piece of prosciutto next to cheese; garnish with lemon thyme.
• Spoon about 1 teaspoon cheese onto each fig half; garnish with tarragon.

GRILLED PROSCIUTTO WRAPPED FIGS STUFFED WITH GORGONZOLA DOLCE

Steps:

• Preheat the grill to medium-high.
• Drizzle each fig half with vinegar and fill each fig center with 1 tablespoon of the cheese. Sprinkle a couple flakes of crushed red pepper on top of the cheese and wrap each fig with a slice of prosciutto. Paint the outside of each fig very lightly with olive oil.
• Put the figs on the grill. The idea here is that we want to grill the figs gently to cook the fig all the way through but to still get the char on the outside. Grill the figs on all sides so the prosciutto is starting to become crispy and the fig feels soft when squeezed, 5 to 6 minutes.
• Drizzle a couple of drops of balsamic on each and serve. It's figgy delicious!
