1 1/2 cups Gorgonzola cheese (crumbled)
3 sprigs fresh thyme leaves
12 prosciutto slices (thin)
12 black mission figs
1 1/2 cups balsamic vinegar
1/2 cup honey
12 picked chervil leaves to garnish

In a small mixing bowl, mix the cheese and thyme leaves. Set aside. Separate the prosciutto slices and place on a cutting board. Make an insert on top of the figs with a small knife. Take the Gorgonzola mixture and stuff the figs. Wrap each fig with a slice of prosciutto. Be sure to wrap them tight so no cheese falls out. In a small saucepan over low heat, cook the balsamic vinegar and honey; reduce until syrup consistency (to about 1/2 cup). Remove from stovetop and cool down at room temperature. Place in a squeeze bottle and drizzle over the stuffed figs. Garnish with chervil leaves.
