PRESENTATION
Stuffed figs are the easiest summer appetizer you'll make all season, ready in 10 minutes flat with zero stovetop time. Ripe figs get filled with cream cheese, folded around a strip of prosciutto, then finished with fresh lemon balm and a hit of lime zest. Serve them chilled straight from the fridge: the coolness against the sweet fruit is what makes this dish disappear first at any spread. This is the kind of appetizer that photographs beautifully but takes almost no effort, perfect for backyard gatherings or a dinner party starter.
