The figs are ripe on our tree. We picked a few to share this appetizer with you, while you enjoy your wine.
Fresh Figs stuffed with Blue Cheese Wrapped in Prosciutto
Serves 6
Ingredients:
6 fresh figs
1/4 cup good quality blue cheese
3-4 prosciutto (thinly sliced, cut lengthwise)
Sea salt and freshly ground pepper
Directions:
Turn the oven to broil.
Cut the figs in half, and place a piece of the blue cheese on each half. Wrap the prosciutto around each fig half, covering the cheese. The ends of the prosciutto should overlap.
Place under the broiler for 2-3 minutes until the prosciutto begins to color and crisp. Remove. Season with sea salt and pepper. Serve warm.
Enjoy!

Hmmmmmm my figs are still very tiny but I will keep this recipe for when they are ready. It looks very yummy. Diane
Gorgeous photo and the stuffed figs look delicious. I love all three ingredients. The wine just makes everything a little tastier.
Yep, and I got a fig tree too!
How lucky are you to have a fig tree!
Yum, those look amazing!
My figs won't be ready until late July/Aug. I am going to have to remember this recipe. Thanks. Kat. (I post anon. b/c the other way through re-entering all my info takes too long!)
Oh I agree these look amazing! What a blessing to have your own fig tree!!
Fresh figs! Delicious, they look amazing!
Mmm..this looks beautiful and delicious. Love your presentation :)
Beautiful presentation. I bet they taste terrific.
I'm so envious of your fresh-from-the-tree figs! This looks like a delicious appetizer and perfect wine choice for me too ;)
Simple and delicious. Beautiful combination of flavours. YUM!
Man this looks good! One of my fave appetizers of all times, I learned how to make this years ago when I worked for my fave boss of all times Carl, a New Yorker expat restaurateur living in Sydney. The only difference is we drizzled honey over them as well! The photos look great Velva!
I'm definitely trying these...we just made dates stuffed with manchego and wrapped in prosciutto and they were great. This sounds like the perfect summer dinner to me, and I am so jealous that you have a fig tree!
Oh, this flavor combination sounds amazing!
How delicious! So...can I stop by and pick up some fresh figs from the tree?
:)
I loved!! very good. Kisses, Marta
I am always ready for the weekend!
OMG, when can I come over! I love everything!
Mary

Too early for us to pick the figs but will remember this appetizer, looks mighty good!!
We just planted our very first fig tree! Too bad, we have a few years to wait. Oh, this looks just wonderful!!!!

Amazing combination of flavors! The figs are just beautiful and I can taste that wonderful blue cheese with the sweet figs. YUM!

You've got FIGS????? Wow! You lucky lady! I made these last year with gorgonzola and they are so delicious, Velva! Your photos are so beautiful too! If you can, would you stop by and add this post to my foodie linkup going on right now; I would LOVE to feature them!
This really is one of my favorite combinations--three perfect ingredients all in one perfect mouthful. Lucky you with a fig tree.
I am totally going to have to try this! I love the sweet and savory contrasts in this combo!
What a wonderful appetizer. Perfect for the blue cheese and proscuitto! That is great that you have your very own fig tree.
I'd almost drive up there to join you, Velva. But it's my youngest son's birthday on Father's Day...he'll be 50. My YOUNGEST!!!!! I am getting so old. :(
great recipe! love it!
What a wonderful appetizer, savory and sweet and delicious. Perfect for this time of year with a glass of wine:)
You know I will be doing this.
Oh man...this looks amazing!
What a great fingerfood! I love the combination of flavours.
I want some! Please!
I love this; have fresh figs and prosciutto and you just gave me the perfect recipe. Thanks.
Rita
I have pie tins and strips of plastic bags hanging from the branches of our fig trees in hopes that the birds will leave me a few. If I'm successful, this is definitely on the list!
This sounds amazing!
