Figs with Prosciutto

Prosciutto is a cured paper-thin ham. The most well known is the kind from the region of Parma in Italy. It can be used for sandwiches, in omelets, on pizza or in Antipasti (appetizers). In this recipe it is paired with fresh figs, a sweet, soft fruit found all over the Mediterranean region. Serve this as an appetizer with some crusty bread and cheese, like a good parmigiano reggiano and a glass of wine.
