Steps:
- Preheat broiler. Cover large rimmed baking sheet with foil. Wrap each fig half with 1 prosciutto strip; place on prepared sheet. Broil until prosciutto chars slightly on edges, about 1 1/2 minutes. Turn figs; broil about 1 1/2 minutes longer, watching closely to prevent burning. Place 1/2 teaspoon Gorgonzola atop each fig half. Top each with walnut piece. Serve warm or at room temperature.
Tips:
- Choose ripe, fresh figs: Look for figs that are plump and have a slightly soft give when pressed. Avoid figs that are too hard or have any bruises or blemishes.
- Use high-quality prosciutto: The better the quality of the prosciutto, the better the dish will be. Look for prosciutto that is thinly sliced and has a good amount of marbling.
- Use a good quality gorgonzola cheese: Gorgonzola is a pungent cheese, so it's important to use one that you enjoy the taste of. Look for a gorgonzola that is creamy and has a strong flavor.
- Don't overcrowd the baking sheet: When roasting the figs, make sure to leave enough space between them so that they can cook evenly. If the figs are too crowded, they will steam instead of roast.
- Roast the figs until they are caramelized: The figs should be roasted until they are slightly caramelized and have a little bit of give when pressed. If the figs are not roasted long enough, they will be too hard. If they are roasted too long, they will be too soft.
Conclusion:
Roasted figs with prosciutto and gorgonzola is a delicious and easy appetizer that is perfect for any occasion. The combination of sweet figs, salty prosciutto, and tangy gorgonzola is irresistible. This dish is sure to impress your guests and is a great way to enjoy the fresh flavors of summer.
