  • 8 ripe green figs, stemmed

  • 8 thin slices prosciutto (about 9 ounces), trimmed of fat and torn into quarters

  • 32 fresh mint leaves

Directions

  1. Remove crusts from bread, and cut each slice into four squares. Spread mascarpone or cream cheese on each square.

  2. Cut each fig lengthwise into four slices. Place a folded prosciutto slice on each square. Top with a mint leaf and a slice of fig.
