Prosciutto Roasted Figs

Directions

1. 1
   Make a small slit in the side of each fig and stuff a raisin-size piece of cheese in the opening.
2. 2
   Wrap a piece of prosciutto around each to enclose like a little cocoon.
3. 3
   Stand the figs on a sheet pan.
4. 4
   Bake for 12 to 15 minutes so the prosciutto melts slightly and forms a skin around the figs.
5. 5
   Season with lots of ground black pepper.
