Stuffed Figs
This simple and elegant appetizer will thrill will blow your friends away!
Ingredients
12 large fresh figs
4 slices prosciutto
1/2 cup blue cheese
4 TBSP marcona almonds, chopped
Method
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Cut off the stems of each fig and cut them from the top almost to the bottom. Give them a quarter turn and cut them again. The bottom needs to stay intact but you should be able to open the figs like the petals of a flower. Divide each slice of prosciutto in to 4 long slices, set aside. Stuff each fig with a dollop of blue cheese. Wrap each fig with a strip of prosciutto. Place in a baking dish, sprinkle with marcona almonds and bake until the cheese starts to bubble, about 10 minutes.
Tip: You can use any almonds, but marconas have a fantastic flavor and crunch!
