Summer figs make a simple and delicious appetizer with a touch of sweetness from the figs and the saltiness of the Italian cured ham. Drizzle with InfusioVanilla Fig Balsamic and you have a masterpiece!

6 figs, halved
Extra virgin olive oil
Infusio Vanilla Fig Balsamic
6 thin slices prosciutto, halved
