Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 200 grams Parmigiano Reggiano cheese
- 4 whole Fresh figs (or substitute grapes, pears, or apples)
- 2 tablespoons Aged balsamic vinegar
- 1 teaspoon Honey (optional)
- 2 sprigs Fresh rosemary sprigs (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
1. Choose a small serving platter or cheese board for presentation.
2. Use a cheese knife or the tip of a sharp knife to break the Parmigiano Reggiano into rough chunks, around 2-3 centimeters in size. Set aside.
3. Wash and dry the fresh figs (or your chosen fruit). If using figs, cut them into halves or quarters for easy serving. If substituting grapes, simply wash and cut them into smaller clusters. For pears or apples, slice into thin wedges.
4. Arrange the Parmigiano Reggiano chunks and prepared fruit onto the serving platter. Distribute them evenly to create a visually appealing presentation.
5. Drizzle the aged balsamic vinegar lightly over both the cheese and fruit. Optionally, add a drizzle of honey for an extra touch of sweetness.
6. Garnish the platter with fresh rosemary sprigs for a burst of color and aroma, if desired.
7. Serve immediately at room temperature, ensuring your guests can enjoy the delicate flavors of the aged balsamic and crisp textures of the fruit paired with the cheese.
