Ingredients

6 large (or 12 small) figs

100g of your favourite blue cheese, e.g. blue castello

6 thin slices prosciutto

1/4 cup (60ml) cream

Method

1.Preheat oven to 200°C (180°C fan-forced). Cut figs downwards, part-way, but not all the way through. Place a spoonful of cheese in the cut and press figs together. For large figs, wrap in prosciutto. For small figs, cut prosciutto in half lengthways and wrap each half around a fig.

2.Place figs in a baking tray or frying pan which will go in the oven. Drizzle with cream and place in oven for 8 minutes. Remove and serve on individual plates, spooning more of the cream over the top.
