Stuffed Figs
Pigs in a blanket are a holiday no-no, laden with 6 grams of fat and not a lot of nutritional value per each bite-sized portion. Stuffed figs (the figs replace the pigs) wrapped in prosciutto are delicious and nutritious -- cutting the calorie count down to
85 and the fat grams almost in half. Makes 12 appetizer servings.
12 large fresh figs (mission or any other fresh variety)
2 oz goat cheese
2 oz thinly sliced prosciutto, cut into 12 strips
2–3 oz balsamic vinegar
Cooking spray
Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Cut figs in half but not all the way through. Stuff the fig with a small scoop of goat cheese and press gently to seal. Wrap stuffed fig in a strip of prosciutto to secure cheese, tuck ends of prosciutto under fig. Place figs on a baking
sheet coated with cooking spray. Drizzle balsamic vinegar over each fig. Bake figs 8 to 10 minutes; serve warm.
