Grilled Brie Stuffed Figs with Prosciutto

Prep time: 15 minutes

Cook time: 5-6 minutes

First, prepare the figs. Place a fresh fig upright onto a cutting board, then use a paring knife to remove a small wedge from the fig, creating a pocket to place the Real California Brie. Repeat this step for all the fresh figs.

Working one at a time, tuck a piece of the sliced Real California Brie inside the fig. Then place the fig upright onto a piece of prosciutto. Wrap the prosciutto up and around the base of the fig securing the Real California Brie inside while also creating a pouch for any cheese that escapes once its melted to be captured. If necessary, the prosciutto can be secured with a toothpick.

Preheat the grill to medium – medium low approximately 400F.

Place the wrapped figs upright on one side of the grill, directly onto the hot grill grates. Turn off the heat to the side of the grill underneath the figs and turn the burners on the other side of the grill to high. Continue to cook the figs over indirect heat for 5-6 minutes with the lid of the grill closed until the prosciutto has darkened in color and began to crisp up and the Real California Brie has melted. Serve immediately.
