Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 tbsp. olive oil
  • 2 tsp. grated lemon zest
  • 1 tbsp. fresh lemon juice
  • 6 oz. soft goat cheese, at room temperature
  • 1 clove garlic, peeled and minced
  • 12 slices (not paper-thin) prosciutto, halved crosswise

  1. Whisk oil, lemon zest, and lemon juice together in a small bowl and set aside. Mix goat cheese and garlic together in another small bowl and set aside.
  2. Spread a thin layer of the goat cheese mixture on each piece of prosciutto, spread a thin layer of fig preserves over cheese, and top with a few greens.

Notes

    • Prosciutto: This cured pork is fully cooked, so all you have to do with it is buy it! You can find it pre-packaged in your supermarket, and also at the deli department. I usually go to the deli so I can get exactly the amount I need!

    • Fig Jam: Sometimes this delectable jam is in with the other jams, and sometimes it is with the fancy cheeses. If you can’t find fig jam you can use apricot or peach.

    • Greens: Any type of small greens will work – we like basil, but you can use microgreens, small arugula or frisee leaves or even mint!
