Prosciutto Wrapped Fig with Goat Cheese and Basil
The scrumptious fig bites are going to be a hit with your holiday guests!! Fresh and filling, the sweetness from the figs mixed with the saltiness of the prosciutto and the creaminess of the goat cheese - with a hit of basil to top it off - will be like a taste explosion in your mouth!
Servings: 12
Ingredients
- 12 small figs
- 12 leaves fresh basil
- 1 small pkg goat cheese
- 6 large slices prosciutto (thinly sliced)
- balsamic glaze optional
Instructions
- Remove the stem piece of the figs and discard; cut each fig down the centre but keep the edge intact.
- Grab one basil leaf and scoop a small bit of goat cheese in the middle (see photo above) and tuck into the middle of the fig - continue with all of the figs.
- Cut each piece of prosciutto into 2, horizontally and wrap one strip around the fig to hold in all of the stuffing and wrap tightly (it should look a bit like a rose)
- If using, drizzle each fig with a touch of balsamic and serve!
Notes
These can be used as an appetizer on their own or added to the top of a prepared arugula salad on a buffet table.
