Baked Prosciutto Wrapped Figs with Cheese

Directions

1. 1
   Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
2. 2
   Snip the hard stems off the figs. If you have small figs, make a vertical slice through the middle, without cutting all the way through the fig. You'll essentially be creating a little pocket for the cheese. If you have larger figs, make a vertical slice all the through the fig. Take a small chunk of cheese and stuff it into the little pocket of the whole fig, or press it onto the cut side of the halved fig.
3. 3
   With a small sharp knife, cut the prosciutto lengthwise into inch-wide strips. Wrap a strip of prosciutto around the center of each fig half, or around the entire fig (depending on the size method you are using), with the ends overlapping.
4. 4
   Bake the figs for 8-9 minutes, until the prosciutto is a little crisp and the figs are warmed through.
5. 5
   Serve.
