Step 1: Preheat grill.
Step 2: Slice off stem end of each fig and then cut a slit in the side of each fig and open the fig like a book.
Step 3: Sprinkle the mozzarella slices with nutmeg. Push a piece of cheese inside each fig and squeeze opening closed as tightly as you can.
Step 4: Lay each filled fig crosswise on a short side of a prosciutto slice and roll up. Secure with toothpick.
Step 5: Brush the filled prosciutto with olive oil and season with pepper.
