Prosciutto-Wrapped Figs Recipe

by Yum Community 0

There's something to be said for quick, easy appetizers that still pack plenty of flavor — not to mention a blend of salty and sweet — and that's exactly what Aimee3242 has created with this simple but satisfying finger food.

My boyfriend and I had a few people over for dinner last week and I needed to make something our guests could snack on while I finished cooking dinner. This dish couldn't have been easier to make and the bites were so easy to just pop in your mouth.

Prosciutto-Wrapped Figs

• 4 figs, cut into sixths
• 8 slices of prosciutto, sliced vertically into thirds
• 2 tbsp. blue cheese or gorgonzola cheese

2. Crumble some blue cheese on top of the prosciutto-wrapped figs.
