Figs with Prosciutto and Bocconcini

Here’s a terrific mouthful for your guests while they’re waiting to tackle something meatier. Fresh mozzarella (bocconcini) is widely available through supermarkets as well as delis. Italian buffalo mozzarella is much better, but much more expensive. Whatever you do, don’t try to use the plastic-y mozzarella pizza cheese for this recipe.
