Ingredients:

Ingredient Quantity
Figs 8
Prosciutto Crudo 8 slices
Brown Sugar 30g

Instructions:

  1. Prepare the Figs: Start by cleaning the figs gently with a soft, dry cloth to remove any dust or residue from the skin. Once clean, make a cross-shaped incision at the top of the fig, starting from the stem. Be careful not to cut all the way through—just enough to open the fig into four wedges.

  2. Sweeten the Figs: Place the incised figs on a baking tray or large platter. Sprinkle a generous amount of brown sugar over the open edges of the fig, allowing the sugar to settle into the flesh.

  3. Caramelize the Figs: Using a kitchen torch (cannelé), caramelize the brown sugar on top of the figs. The heat from the torch will create a beautiful, slightly crispy, golden surface, giving the figs a lovely caramelized texture.

  4. Assemble the Roselline: Gently wrap a slice of prosciutto crudo around the center of each fig, forming a delicate rosette shape. Each fig should have one slice of prosciutto, nestled neatly within the open segments.

  5. Serve: Arrange the finished figs on a serving platter. Serve immediately while they are still fresh, warm, and wonderfully aromatic.


Pro Tip:

To enhance the flavor, try adding a drizzle of honey or a sprinkle of cracked black pepper before serving. This will complement the sweetness of the figs and the saltiness of the prosciutto, making for a more complex and satisfying taste.


Enjoy this easy and sophisticated appetizer that will impress your guests with its balance of sweetness and savory goodness. Perfect for casual get-togethers or elegant dinner parties, these Prosciutto Crudo Roselline on Figs are sure to be a hit!
