These are great to serve with drinks when the crowd comes by, or just make a few on date night. For that reason I did not include measurements. Make as many or as few as you want.They can be prepared ahead of time and grilled up when your guests arrive.
Black Mission Figs
Serrano Ham or Prosciutto slices
Gorgonzola cheese
Olive oil

Slice figs halfway through from stem to base . Do not cut in half. Stuff the fig with the gorgonzola cheese and gently squeeze the fig to close. take a slice of serrano or prosciutto and wrap around fig .Secure with a toothpick.
In a small saucepan gently boil Balsamic vinegar until it thickens and becomes a syrup, about 5 mins.
Heat stovetop grill pan or prepare outdoor grill. Brush figs with olive oil and grill on all sides about 6-7 minutes until the ham becomes crisp and cheese is melted. Remove the toothpick , arrange on a platter and drizzle with balsamic syrup.
