Figs with Prosciutto Ham and Goat Cheese
Although this Italian dish is very simple to make, it has an elaborate combination of textures and flavours. Fresh, ripe figs are best for this recipe and the peak season is early to late summer. If you cannot And any prosciutto, use some other sort of Italian parma ham.
