Preparation

Step 1

Cut each fig in half vertically, cutting to, but not through, base of fig. Spread slightly apart. Place 1 cube of cheese in each fig; gently close to seal. Wrap one prosciutto strip around each fig.

Preheat grill.

Combine vinegar and next 3 ingredients in a small saucepan; bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer until thick, about 10 minutes. Cool.

Place figs on grill rack coated with cooking spray; grill 6 minutes, turning occasionally, until prosciutto is crisp. Drizzle each fig with balsamic syrup.
