Figs prosciutto
Ingredients:
fresh figs, sliced in half
soft, flavorful cheese, such as gorgonzola dolce, goat or brie
prosciutto, thinly sliced
honey, for drizzling
coarse sea salt
Instructions:
Preheat the oven to 350°F
Stuff a small ball of cheese into the center of each fig half.
Wrap the fig halves with narrow strips of prosciutto. The prosciutto will easily stick to itself, so no need to be perfect.
Place the fig halves on a baking sheet and bake for about 10 minutes. Remove and allow to cool slightly. Plate, and drizzle with honey and a light sprinkling of sea salt.
Hello, and welcome to SoupAddict, my little corner of the foodie world on the Interwebs. I'm Karen, and it's true, I'm addicted to soup. The seasons guide my cooking and eating, and when I'm not behind the stove — or the keyboard: I'm a writer by trade — you can find me in my vegetable garden. 
I’ve only had them in fancy restaurants, have never even seen them here. You wouldn’t want to give me that address would you? Just kidding, I know that you can get them fresh in CA quite easily, so I guess I will just have to hitch up my horses and head to CA…

I’ve had dates stuffed with goat cheese, wrapped in prosciutto and baked till soft but I have never had it with figs before. I think I will have to pick up a few next time I’m at the market. BTW the plate in your photos is gorgeous!

Move to France, they’re everywhere. I have a fig tree in my backyard here!
I think figs really are scarce in Ohio. I had a vague idea that they existed, but they didn’t really come into the forefront of my food consciousness until I moved to the east coast. So I also enjoyed my first figs this year!
Last winter was the first time I came across “real, live figs” up here. There were in the most absurd, understocked grocery store in the world. I firmly believe that they ended up on the re-stock the grocery store truck by accident and the store manager didn’t know what to do with them.
I was so giddy. I bought the whole stinking flat. I am sure the clerk thought I was one odd duck.
So…yes, you have every right to do your happy fig dance. And I am right there with you thinking evil thoughts about the rest of the “we have fresh figs all the time” population. Glare….
Beautifully done.

This is embarrassing to say, because I live in S. California, but amazingly I’ve never had a fresh fig. The closest I’ve gotten is a Fig Newton or two. Recently I noticed fresh figs at Trader Joe’s. Because of this post when I go shopping this weekend, I’ll be picking a bag up. Will let you know what I think. Anything with prosciutto and brie (or goat cheese) can’t be bad!
