Ingredients:

6 slices prosciutto - oven method

1/2 cup(s) honey

2 small shallots - peeled and minced (Learn How)

1 cup(s) fig (dried) - stemmed and small diced

1/2 cup(s) apple cider vinegar

1 teaspoon(s) lemon juice

1 cup(s) olive oil blend

1/2 cup(s) blue cheese (Maytag)

1 baguette - sliced into 1/2-inch rounds

1/2 cup(s) chives - snipped

4 heads frisee - trimmed to the white and cleaned

1/2 cup(s) radicchio - julienned

1/4 cup(s) salt and pepper - to taste

Steps:

-Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.

-Place the slices of prosciutto on a sheet pan lined with parchment. Place another sheet of parchment on top of the prosciutto.

-Then place another sheet pan on top of the parchment. Bake the prosciutto until crispy (approximately 10 minutes)

-In a small saucepan, slowly heat up the honey until it caramelizes. It will turn a dark amber color (watch is closely so it doesn't burn).

-Once it starts to caramelize, add the shallots and figs. Carefully add the vinegar and lemon juice.

-Keep cooking over low heat until the mixture liquifies again (approximately 3 minutes).

-Remove the pan from the heat and let it cool to room temperature.

-Using an immersion blender, slowly drizzle the oil into the pan while blending.

-Season to taste.

-Turn the oven up to 425 degrees. Divide the blue cheese between the six slices of bread. Bake the bread until the cheese starts to brown.

-Mix the chives and greens together and divide between the plates.

-Drizzle the warm vinaigrette over the greens and then top with the prosciutto and blue cheese toast.
