Lisa, from Champaign Taste, and I, have decided to whup up these figs that Fightin Mad Mary blogged about. Baby, we have been NETworkin' about where in the heck we can find a Friggin Fresh Fig. I had a tough time finding prosciutto, too, but finally got some at Schnucks, at Lisa's recommendation.
Vacation drawing nigh, I found myself with a frig full of ingredients, and one cookin' night left: The night we sprung a pizza party on a friend "down" with surgery. Pizza and Figs it is, then.
According to Mary:
Take a fig and slice it down one side.
Stuff with goat cheese - a peppery blend works really well for this or just plain.
Wrap with prosciutto
Top with a sprig of rosemary
Bake for 8 minutes at 400 degrees in a preheated oven.
Doh! I forgot the rosemary, but these little bites were gobbly good. The flavors meld to make a delicious sweet-salty-cheesy pop in your mouth. This is definitely one I'll try again, simple and delicious.

Hey, I just realized you had put this up! Greato. They look wonderful. I wish I had gotten the black figs, I think they would've been better in this recipe. Mine turned out OK, but I'd make a few changes if I did them again.
Got a "fig challenge" for you on my post about them . . .
Oh WOW! I wish I'd seen this recipe when i had fresh figs in my fridge and couldn't decide what to do with them.
this photograph is fantastic!
