Stuffed Figs

1. 1

   For the stuffed figs: Preheat your oven to 425 degrees F. Slice the tops and bottoms off the figs, so that the figs stand straight up.

2. 2

   Slice the fig once, down about 2/3 way, and then make another slice perpendicular to that, creating a cavity for the stuffing.

3. 3

   Take a mounded teaspoonful of cheese and wrap it around an almond.

4. 4

   Place the almond in the cavity of the fig.

5. 5

   Cut the slices of prosciutto down the middle, and use one strip to cover one fig.

6. 6

   Repeat until all figs are wrapped.

7. 7

   Place on a baking sheet, and bake for 15 minutes, or until the prosciutto is crisp.

8. 8

   Allow to cool, then place on a bed of watercress.

9. 9

   Drizzle with balsamic vinegar reduction or honey and chopped walnuts.
