Tips and Storage
You can prepare the stuffed figs in advance and store them in the refrigerator. However, it’s best to add the prosciutto and assemble the plate just before serving to maintain the freshness and texture of the prosciutto.
Arrange the stuffed figs on an elegant serving plate to enhance the aesthetic appearance. You can add some decorative elements like basil leaves or fresh parsley.
Serve this dish with a fresh and fruity white wine, such as a Sauvignon Blanc or a Pinot Grigio. A prosecco or champagne also pairs beautifully due to its effervescence.
Storage: Gently wrap the stuffed figs with cling film or store them in an airtight container. Place them in the fridge and consume within 1-2 days to ensure maximum freshness, and add the prosciutto just at the last minute.
It is not advisable to freeze stuffed figs with gorgonzola and walnuts, or the prosciutto, as their texture and flavor may alter significantly.
