Growing up, we are taught that cheating is bad. Some incidences such as cards are minor versus some that are not easily, if ever forgiven. Well folks, I have found an exception. I know I'm in culinary school, and good food usually comes from many hours of preparation and execution, BUT sometimes you can cheat and it is simply delicious.
When I went down to New Orleans, I discovered bleu cheese stuffed apricots at a little hole-in-the-wall spot. I have been craving those little treats for some time now. I'll be honest, I have never really been a fan of apricots, but there is something about the combination of the bleu cheese, prosciutto, and balsamic that is too good to pass up.
So here is my secret to cheating...

| Bleu-Cheese Stuffed Apricots - Cheaters Guide |
It's scary how easy it is!
1. Slice the apricot almost in half, leaving attached on one side to create a little pocket
2. Stuff with bleu cheese crumbles
3. Cut prosciutto into strips and wrap each apricot
4. Throw into a hot sauté pan just to get a little crisp on the outside
5. Drizzle with Balsamic
6. Eat your heart out!
