Equipment

Ingredients

10 Figs fresh
5 Prosciutto strips
8 oz Goat cheese sliced
20 Basil leaves fresh
1/4 cup Balsamic vinegar real, thick one or balsamic glaze
1/2 cup Pistachios chopped
Salt to taste
Fig jam optional

Instructions

Slice the neck knobs off each fig, then cut them in half lengthwise.
2. Now you can roast them or use them fresh. I like them fresh for this appetizer.
3. If you roast them, place the halves on a sheet pan and drizzle with extra virgin olive oil. Roast them just long enough to intensify the sweetness without drying them out, around 15 minutes at 375°F.
4. Slice the goat cheese and put them on top of the fig.
5. Put basil leaves on teh top of the cheese.
6. Roll the prosciutto and place it on the fig.
7. Drizzle with balsamic vinegar (it must be the thick, balsamic glaze, if you don't have authentic balsamic vinegar)
8. Finish with a sprinkle of fresh thyme, a crack of black pepper, and a few pistachios for crunch.
