Active: 25 min
Yield: 4 servings

Ingredients

  1. 2 red grapes, thinly sliced
  2. 1/2 cup Gorgonzola cheese
  3. 1/2 cup mascarpone cheese
  4. 4 fresh figs
  5. 1/2 cup walnuts
  6. Splash olive oil
  7. 3 slices prosciutto, thinly sliced
  8. Splash red wine vinegar

Instructions

  1. Freeze the grape slices until frozen, about 30 minutes.
  2. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
  3. Put the Gorgonzola and mascarpone in a bowl and mix with an electric hand mixer until combined. Fill a disposable pastry bag with the cheese mixture and snip the tip about 1/2 inch from the end.
  4. Remove the top third from each fig and place upright on a small baking sheet. Add the walnuts and roast until the figs are soft and beginning to caramelize and the walnuts are toasty, about 10 minutes.
  5. Heat a saute pan over medium heat and add a splash of olive oil. Add the prosciutto and saute until crispy, about 5 minutes. Add a splash of red wine vinegar and remove from the heat.
  6. Finely chop the walnuts. Pipe a heaping amount of the cheese mixture into each fig. Roll the tops in chopped walnuts. Top with crispy prosciutto pieces. Stick a frozen grape slice in each.
