This is a sweet and savory finger food that is sure to delight! It is quick to whip up and throw together. You can use proscuitto, bacon, or no meat at all!
Tools you'll need
Mixing bowl
Fork
Cookie sheet
Paring knife
Ingredients
Dried figs
Tub of crumbled gorgonzola cheese
1/4-1/2 C bread crumbs
Shallot or small sweet onion finely diced
Garlic to taste
salt to taste
Rosemary, Thyme, Oregano
Water
2 Tbs melted butter unsalted
Almost cooked bacon OR uncooked proscuitto
Balsamic Glaze in a bottle
Instructions:
In a mixing bowl, dump the cheese, bread crumbs, onions, butter, and seasonings to taste. Use a fork to mix together. If it doesn't stick together enough, add a small amount of water until it begins to stick. You may want to switch to your hands.
Using the paring knife, remove the stem of the figs. Then, slice an "X" in the top and use your fingers to peel back the flaps. Stuff with a ball of the mixture. Wrap in either the half cooked bacon or proscuitto and place on a cookie sheet. Bake at 375 until the bacon is cooked or the proscuitto is browned and the filling is bubbly. Drizzle with balsamic glaze once placed on a serving dish. Don't over cook or the figs will be hard to bite/chew. That is why you want the bacon to be almost cooked. You can go without meat if you want it to be vegetarian. Mangia!
