Fall brings with it the flavors of the season: pumpkin, hearty greens, apple, pear, and of course: fig. Figs have two seasons, with June serving as the first yet short season, and August through October serving as the second. You can find them at most grocers, and when you do: stock up! There are more times I care to admit that I’ve missed out on Fall figs.

How To Use Figs

Though this recipe serves as a great starting point, there are so many ways to enjoy figs:

  1. Slice fresh figs and add to salads
  2. Roast figs with olive oil and herbs for a savory and sweet side dish
  3. Add fresh figs to muffin and cake batter
  4. Cook chopped figs with maple syrup, salt, and vanilla for a quick jam or sauce
  5. Eat straight!

How to Prepare Prosciutto Figs with Goat Cheese

These Prosciutto Figs with Goat Cheese couldn’t be easier to prepare. They require just three obvious ingredients: figs, prosciutto, and goat cheese!

I used crumbled goat cheese in these, but a goat cheese log would work nicely as well. If that’s the route you take, simply scoop a dollop of the goat cheese on top of the halved fig. The prosciutto serves as a wrapper, keeping the goat cheese in place. 

After a quick roast in the oven, the figs are transferred to a platter and served warm!

Ingredients

  • 8 oz container fresh figs, washed, stemmed, and halved
  • 5 oz prosciutto
  • 1/2 cup goat cheese, crumbled or log

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
  • If you're using crumbled goat cheese, carefully spoon about 1/2 teaspoon of goat cheese on to halved fig. If you're using a goat cheese log, slice a piece to fit on top of the halved fig.
  • Use a slice of prosciutto, cut thinly, and wrap each fig tightly. You will need less proscitto than you think to cover the fig, but use enough to wrap around each fig a few times.
  • Arrange assembled figs in a baking dish and cook for 10 minutes, or until prosciutto is slightly crispy and goat cheese is melted. Serve warm!
