Making Fig and Prosciutto Roses is a straightforward process. Follow these steps for a beautiful presentation:

1. Prepare the Figs: Wash the fresh figs and pat them dry with a paper towel. Cut the tops off each fig and make a vertical slit down the side without cutting all the way through.
2. Prepare the Prosciutto: Slice the prosciutto into thin strips. Each strip should be about 1 inch wide and 6 inches long.
3. Stuff the Figs (Optional): If desired, gently fill each fig with a small amount of goat cheese or cream cheese.
4. Wrap the Figs: Take a strip of prosciutto and wrap it around the fig, starting from the bottom and moving upwards. Overlap the prosciutto slightly as you go.
5. Create the Rose Shape: As you wrap, gently pinch and shape the prosciutto to resemble petals, creating a rose effect. Ensure the fig is mostly covered.
6. Arrange on a Platter: Place the finished figs on a serving platter, arranging them aesthetically.
7. Drizzle with Balsamic Glaze: Lightly drizzle balsamic glaze over the figs for an added burst of flavor.
8. Add Olive Oil: Drizzle a bit of olive oil over the arrangement for extra richness.
9. Season: Sprinkle freshly cracked black pepper on top for a hint of spice.
10. Garnish: Add fresh basil leaves around the figs for a pop of color and additional flavor.

Following these steps will yield a stunning plate of Fig and Prosciutto Roses that are sure to impress!
