Grilled Figs with Goat Cheese and Prosciutto
8 medium ripe figs
2-3 oz. Redwood Hill Farm Fresh Chevre
1/2 - 1 tsp. chopped fresh rosemary
1-2 tsp. chopped fresh chives
Freshly ground black pepper to taste
4 thin slices Prosciutto or salty smoked ham
Raspberries or blackberries to garnish
Cut figs in half, partially leaving one side intact. In a small bowl, combine the Chevre, rosemary, and chives. Place a small amount of the Chevre mixture in the center of the fig and press the sides together. Wrap each fig with half a piece of Prosciutto. Warm for a few minutes, turning once or twice over hot coals, under the broiler, or in a very hot oven. Serve on a platter with fresh berries.

Serves 4 as an appetizer
