Prosciutto Wrapped Figs With Blue Cheese Cream

Recipe Ingredients

6		Ripe figs
		= (preferably Black Mission)
6		Prosciutto - thinly sliced
1 cup	237ml	Heavy cream
1/2 cup	73g / 2.6oz	Crumbled blue cheese - more for garnish
		= (such as gorgonzola)
1 tablespoon	15ml	Olive oil
		Chervil sprigs - for optional garnish

Recipe Instructions

Wrap prosciutto around figs. Bring cream to a simmer. Slowly whisk in cheese until it is dissolved, about 1 minute. Remove from heat and set aside.

Place wrapped figs in a heated saute pan with olive oil and pan fry until lightly crisp and soft to the touch, about 2 minutes on each side. (Note: If fig is still firm, it wasn't ripe enough. Place in a 350 degree oven for an additional five minutes.) Remove figs from pan. Cover the bottom of a bowl or rimmed plate with sauce. Place figs in bowl or on plate and crumble additional blue cheese over them. Garnish with chervil sprigs. Serve hot.

This recipe yields 4 to 6 servings.
