Instructions: Place a piece of cheese on each fig half. Wrap with prosciutto and secure with a toothpick. Arrange cheese side up on a baking sheet and bake in a preheated 375F (190C) oven until the prosciutto begins to sizzle, about 10 minutes.

Serves 4 to 6.

My Australian readers might choose to use their excellent Milawa Roquefort-style blue cheese in this dish, but any good quality blue cheese will do just as well.
