Our Figs Stuffed With Gorgonzola and Prosciutto recipe has a lovely sweet and salty flavor—and makes an easy yet super impressive appetizer. 

Feel free to substitute another soft cheese, such as fresh goat’s milk or ricotta.

For an extra special treat, try them with figs fresh from your own fig tree!

Ingredients
2 dozen ripe, fresh figs
4 to 5 thin slices prosciutto, cut into 2-by-2-inch squares
3 ounces Gorgonzola dolce
Instructions

Cut an “x” into the top of each fig, slicing three-quarters of the way to the bottom. Stuff each fig with a piece of prosciutto. (Lay a square on top of the fig and push down gently on the center of the square, into the fig.) Spoon Gorgonzola into center of prosciutto. Repeat with each fig.

I would omit the prosciutto and use dark chocolate instead. I eat figs with chocolate every night when in season as a dessert. Dark chocolate goes well with any kind of blue cheese.

I would like to do a vegetarian recipe using figs. Do you have other ideas for stuffing these delicious fruit without me? How would this one be if I just left all the prosciutto?
