Figs with Goat Cheese and Prosciutto

These fresh figs paired with a tart goat cheese and salty prosciutto make this the perfect sweet and savory  appetizer for any occasion. 

Sorry for the picture overload last week  but that is the purpose of Friday Feedings ya know?!

Can you please tell me how summer is almost over? Even though that does mean college football starts in a month (30 days to be exact not that I’m counting) and even more exciting Amelia should be here in 50 days!

Figs have been popping up all over our grocery stores and farmers markets lately which makes me giddy. Especially since it was just a couple of years ago that I had my first fig in Indy.

And recently I found out that my great grandmother had a fig tree and even my friend’s mom has one. After having a lemon tree in Indy I think it’s time for a new fruit tree. That way I could make all things figs – fig jam, fig & proscuitto & arugula pizza, fig galettes, fig and cheese paninis….okay you get the point!

So it’s no secret that I love goat cheese whether it’s in salads, pastas, or on pizzas. But by pairing this tangy cheese with a sweet fig starts this dish off on the right note.

To build this dish you start with some fresh greens – I chose a spring mix but a peppery arugula would be nice as well. Then it’s followed by a few thin slices of prosciutto, the stars of the show (figs & goat cheese), and then the nutty pistachios and sweet honey.
