prosciutto wrapped figs

recipe and photo found at Guilty Kitchen
Prosciutto Wrapped Figs
4 Fresh Figs

100 g goat’s cheese

8 slices of prosciutto, sliced very thin

1 tbsp oil

1. Split the figs into quarters.

2. Depress the centres of the figs slightly to accommodate the cheese.
3. Pinch off teaspoon size pieces of the chèvre and roll in the palm of your hand into small balls.
4. Place cheese balls into depression in fig slices.

5. Slice prosciutto into two pieces each, either vertically or horizontally, whichever will be large enough to wrap around the figs. I did vertically.

6. Place fig and cheese combo on one end of a slice if prosciutto and roll up into little cigar shapes.

7. Coat in oil and set aside. Continue with remaining ingredients.

8. Heat BBQ grill to medium high and place oiled wrapped figs directly on grill.

9. Grill on each side for about 1 minute. Just long enough to achieve grill marks and warm the centres within.

10. Remove from grill and devour as an appetizer or as a side dish to a summer salad.
