Fig, Brie & Prosciutto Rolls

posted on : March 18, 2019 posted by : Kirsten Bell 4 Comments

Fig, brie and prosciutto rolls – in other words, possibly the best flavor combo I’ve ever had. And who doesn’t love an appetizer that’s as easy as it is delicious? Using fig jam and crescent rolls, these are seriously one of the quickest and simplest recipes. Perfect for a big party or a quick appetizer for unexpected guests.

Sometimes my best ideas happen very randomly. A few weeks ago I was at the store, looking for some snacks for a girl’s night. I saw fig jam, my brain started to go wild, and this easy brie crescent roll appetizer was born! It got rave reviews at the girls night, and everyone was asking for the recipe (that’s always the best sign, isn’t it?).

What I love about these rolls is that they’re delicious, obviously, but they’re also incredibly quick and easy to throw together! The flavor combination makes them taste really fancy too, so the fact that they take about 5 minutes of hands-on time can be our little secret!

This recipe can easily be doubled or tripled depending on how many people you’re wanting to serve. I recommend about two rolls per person, because trust me – nobody will be happy with just one!

Fig, Brie and Prosciutto Rolls Flavors:

 
Let’s chat about the key flavors in these delicious appetizers for a minute!
 
 
First, we have brie! Brie is a creamy, nutty soft cheese. Its deep flavor pairs perfectly with fruity flavors, which brings us to fig! Figs have an almost honey-like sweetness to them, with a hint of brighter berry flavor. You might recognize the flavor from Fig Newtons!
 
 
 
 
Third, we have prosciutto! Prosciutto is a thinly sliced, cured Italian ham. It’s soft and salty, and delicious. Prosciutto always reminds me of my aunt Janece, who survived off of Prosciutto and melon on our trip to Italy a few years back. And its salty flavor pairs perfect with the sweet taste of figs too!
 

Want to enjoy with wine?

Try these fig, brie and prosciutto rolls with white wines such as Pinot Grigio, Chardonnay, or a favorite Rosé! My favorite rosé right now is from Stoller Family Estate, you can buy it online here.
