Ingredients

  • 10-12 figs halved lengthwise & peeled
  • 1 rectangular piece of feta cheese
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 3 tbsp olive oil, divided
  • 8-10 slices of prosciutto
  • 2 tbsp chopped pistachios
  • 1-2 tbsp white balsamic vinegar
  • crostini or crackers for serving

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Preheat the oven to 400F. Line a small baking dish or baking sheet with parchment paper. Place the feta on the parchment paper and drizzle with 1 tbsp olive oil. Set aside.
  2. Make the fig carpaccio: Peel the figs and then slice lengthwise. Place the figs in rows of 3 (3-4 rows depending on how many figs you have) on a piece of parchment paper. Cover with another piece of parchment paper and then roll with a rolling pin until you get a very thin layer. Transfer to the freezer while you bake the feta.
  3. Bake the feta: Bake the feta for 15-20 minutes to soften and then remove from the oven.
  4. Assemble the carpaccio: Gently transfer the fig carpaccio to a plate, sprinkle over 1/2 tsp salt and top with the baked feta in the center. Add pieces of prosciutto, chopped pistachios, drizzle over 2 tbsp olive oil and 1-2 tbsp white balsamic vinegar.

Notes

  • Make your own crostini to serve with this appetizer: 

    Preheat the oven to 400F. Using a bread knife, slice the baguette into 1-inch thick slices, about 12-14 of them. Brush the baguette slices with olive oil on one side and place in a single layer on a baking sheet. Toast for 10 minutes total, flipping halfway through. Set aside.
