Although not a big fan of proscuitto and having never cooked with figs, I used this recipe as the first course for a Paella party and my guests loved it. I didn't have time to track down the crecenza cheese, but found out it was comparable to a cream cheese and so used that instead. They were beautiful on the plate and so popular I was wishing I'd made more!
