Late summer to early fall is when figs come into season – and would you look at that? It’s that time of the year! Our sales manager Bobbi shared this delicious recipe for ripe, sweet figs paired with tangy goat cheese and savory prosciutto and grilled on a maple wood plank. These stuffed figs are the perfect sendoff to summer and welcome to autumn!

• Place about 1/2 to 1 tsp. of the goat cheese on each half. Sprinkle lightly with pepper.
• Drape a small piece of proscuitto across each fig.
• Put the maple wood plank in a plank saver and place figs on the plank.
