  12                    figs
   6      ounces        gorgonzola cheese -- softened to
                        -- room temperature
   2      tablespoons   finely-chopped walnuts
     1/2  cup           finely-chopped Italian parsley
   8      ounces        prosciutto di parma -- sliced paper thin

Preparation:

Preheat oven to 450 degrees. Cut figs open 1/4 at top but leave whole at base. Place figs on non-greased baking sheet, opening with fingers as best you can. In a mixing bowl, stir together Gorgonzola cheese, chopped walnuts and chopped parsley until well mixed. Using a tablespoon, stuff 1 tablespoon filling in each fig. Bake figs 8 to 10 minutes, until cheese filling is bubbling out. Meanwhile, lay 3 or 4 slices of Prosciutto on each of 4 plates. Remove figs from oven, place 3 in center of each plate and serve immediately. Source: MOLTO MARIO with Mario Batali From the TV FOOD NETWORK - (Show # MB-5677)
