These prosciutto-wrapped figs offer a sophisticated appetizer for people throwing a dinner party, and can serve up to six people with very little effort on the host's part.
The recipe requires four ounces of brie cheese, four ounces of gorgonzola cheese, 12 fresh figs that have been sliced in half, and 12 thin slices of prosciutto that have also been cut in half. To assemble the prosciutto-wrapped figs, hosts simply cut the cheeses into small square pieces, and then top each side of the fig with a piece of cheese. These can then be wrapped with the prosciutto slices and secured with bamboo picks, skewers, or regular toothpicks. The figs can then be arranged neatly on a decorative cutting board and served to dinner guests.
