--------  ------------  --------------------------------
 12                    figs, 1/4 cut open at top but -- left whole at base
  6      ounces        Gorgonzola cheese -- at room temp
  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 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.
