Stuffed Figs Appetizers: Serving – as many as you want to make, but I’ll make it for four people.

• 4 whole figs, stems removed and cut in half from stem to base
• 2 teaspoons of Gorgonzola or Blue cheese
• 2 deli slices of Cappocola ham, shredded into very thin strips (or any cured ham)
• Light Olive oil
• Salt, pepper and sugar

Preheat oven to Broil. Place cut figs, skin side down, on a baking sheet. Put a few shreds of ham on the fleshy side of the fig and top off with a few crumbles of cheese. Lightly drizzle olive oil on the bite-sized appetizer. Sprinkle a very light dash of salt, pepper and sugar on top of each portion. Place baking sheet in oven on broil for 2-4 minutes only. Let cool for a minute and serve on an appetizer dish or on top of a salad – a bed of mixed field greens with a light olive oil and lemon dressing.
