Select small figs and cut in half lengthwise. Place a tiny piece of a salty blue cheese, such as gorgonzola piccante or St Agur, in the centre of each fig half and then wrap in a slice of prosciutto. Lay the wrapped fig halves on a platter, drizzle with extra virgin olive oil and grind over some black pepper.
