Preheat oven to 450 F.

Place figs on non-greased baking sheet, opening with fingers as best
you can. In a mixing bowl, stir together Gorgonzola cheese, chopped
walnuts, and chopped parsley until well mixed. Using a tablespoon,
stuff 1 tb filling in each fig.

Bake figs 8 to 10 minutes, until cheese filling is bubbling out.
Meanwhile, lay 3 or 4 slices of Prosciutto on each of 4 plates.

Remove figs from oven, place 3 in center of each plate and serve
immediately.
