12 figs, 1/4 cut open at top but -- left whole at base

2 tablespoons walnuts -- finely chopped
2 bunches Italian parsley, finely chopped -- to yield 1/2C
8 ounces Prosciutto di Parma -- sliced paper thin

Preheat oven to 450 degrees F.

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

Remove figs from oven, place 3 in center of each plate and serve immediately.
