Grilled Figs with Dry Jack and Prosciutto

Grilling or roasting fresh figs gives them a caramelized, sweet flavor that enhances this classic Italian-style pairing of a salty cheese, cured meat and ripe fruit. Serve the figs hot off the grill as a starter, or combine them with a simple arugula salad for a light meal. Change up the dish by using Parmigiano-Reggiano or an aged pecorino instead of the dry Jack.
