Notes
Pro Tips
Use ripe but firm figs. Gorgonzola dolce is creamier and milder than piccante. A quick broil or grill intensifies flavors. Can be assembled ahead and broiled just before serving.
History & Origin
The marriage of figs and prosciutto is a classic Italian combination dating back centuries. The addition of creamy gorgonzola creates a trio of flavors—sweet, salty, and tangy—that epitomizes the sophistication of Italian antipasti.
