Being a host I know how hard it is to constantly reinvent your food menu and provide delicious food for your guests. It's hard because you need prep time, cook time, socializing time, and eating time so you most likely stick to the recipes you have made several times before. Well no worries because I have a new adult recipe that is sure to wow all your guests and leave them thinking "Did s/he fly to Napa Valley and get a course in California cuisine?"
You'll need:
- figs
- sliced prosciutto
- boursin cheese
- grill
The recipe is super easy:
- heat up your grill to 400-450 degrees
- cut the figs in half
- scoop a teaspoon or table spoon (depending on the size of your figs) and put it in the center
- wrap fig in a slice of prosciutto
- throw on the grill for 5 minutes
The end result is a perfect combination of sweet and salty. The cheese melts (but stays inside b.c. of the prosciutto wrap) and the prosciutto gets nice and crispy. With prep and cooking time you are looking at 15 minutes TOPS.
Tips:
- This dish is great as an appetizer (with some wine of course :) ) or on top of a mixed greens salad (with balsamic vinegar...yum).
- If you're beyond lazy then just quarter the figs and wrap each in prosciutto and serve raw
- Some websites will tell you to use chevre -I've actually made boursin and chevre options side by side and the consensus from everyone was that boursin makes a much tastier combination.
Enjoy!
