Bleu Cheese Stuffed Figs

Figs, bleu cheese - together. Simply genius. I can't wait to serve these at my next holiday party, dinner party, birthday party. Or, on second thought, I just might make my very own fig party and keep them all to myself!

Ingredients: 16 black missing figs, cleaned and stems removed 4 ounces bleu cheese 2 ounces prosciutto, thinly sliced and gently torn into 16 strips ¼ cup marcona almonds, roughly chopped 3 tablespoons honey white pepper to taste

Directions: 1. Preheat the broiler on low. 2. Using a small knife, score the tops of each fig with an “X”, about ½ inch deep. 3. Stuff each fig with a small chunk of bleu cheese. 4. Neatly wrap each fig with a piece of prosciutto. Season with white pepper. 5. Place the dressed figs onto an ovenproof plate or shallow baking dish and broil for about 3-5 minutes, just until the bleu cheese begins to melt and the prosciutto starts to crisp up. 6. Remove the figs from the oven and allow to cool, about 5 minutes. 7. Drizzle honey over the figs and finish with a sprinkle of almonds.
