Prosciutto Wrapped Figs Stuffed with Blue Cheese
Disclaimer: this is not my original recipe! I got it from Skinny Taste and the only differences are that I didn’t use any toothpicks to secure the prosciutto to the figs and I drizzled the figs with maple syrup after. I have to say that I really loved this recipe because it’s simple, easy to assemble and is perfect for those times where you’re hungry but yet not hungry enough to finish off a full meal. I would’ve eaten this with arugula salad and balsamic vinegar but I didn’t have any salad left so it was just the figs for...
