Prosciutto Wrapped Figs with Blue Cheese served on a bed of baby arugula with a light vinaigrette. A delicious combination of salt, acid and sweet.

Ingredients

  • 8 large figs
  • 1/4 cup blue cheese ((2 ounces) crumbled)
  • 4 thin strips prosciutto (cut in half lengthwise (2 ounces total))
  • 6 cups baby arugula
  • 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon golden balsamic vinegar
  • pinch salt
  • black pepper

Directions

  1. Divide and arrange arugula on 4 salad plates or one platter.
  2. Starting at the stem end, cut figs in half nearly through but leave the blossom end in tact.
  3. Press 1/2 tablespoon cheese in the center then press halves back together. Wrap each fig with prosciutto half and secure with a toothpick.
  4. GRILL: Preheat the grill to high heat, grill 5 minutes turning often until crisp. Remove and set aside.
  5. AIR FRYER: Preheat the air fryer 400F 3 minutes. Air fry the figs 5 to 6 minutes, until crisp. Remove and set aside.
