Prosciutto Wrapped Fig with Gorgonzola Cheese

The idea for this recipe came from my friend at work.  She had a dinner party and made a variation of these for her guests.  They were a huge hit.  I love fig and generally serve a fig jam on my cheese plates when I have company. I thought this would be a great change of pace for once as it is a hot appetizer.  I'll be honest, they are not the most appeasing to the eye, but if you can get past that, they are simply wonderful :)

Serves: 4 servings (2 per person) or 2 servings (4 per person)

8 dried figs
1/2 cup gorgonzola cheese
8 prosciutto slices (thin)
1 tabelspoon walnuts, finely chopped
1 tsp honey

Preheat oven to 400 degrees.  Mix gorgonzola, walnuts, and honey together in a bowl.  Slice fig in the middle to create a pocket. 

Stuff gorgonzola mixture into fig and wrap in proscuitto.  Place on a baking sheet and repeat steps for the remaining 7 figs. Place in oven for 8 to 10 minutes or until prosciutto is crisp.  Allow to cool for 1 minute and then serve.
