6 Fresh California Figs, sliced in half
1 Tbsp Honey, divided
2 Tbsp Goat Cheese, divided
12 Baby Arugula Leaves
3 slices Prosciutto, cut lengthwise then in half to make 12 pieces
Cut a slit lengthwise with a small sharp knife on flesh side of each fig half.
Spoon or brush 1/4 tsp. of honey onto each fig half.
Press 1/2 tsp. of goat cheese into slit of each fig.
Wrap each fig with an arugula leaf and a strip of prosciutto.
Arrange on a small platter lined with more arugula; add a turn of freshly ground black pepper, if desired, and serve.
NOTE:
Fig bites should be prepared no more than 1 hour before serving to prevent from becoming too soft. Pairs well with a nice Pinot Grigio wine.
