No. 48: Prosciutto-Wrapped Figs at Hattie's

Any favorite dishes list for Dallas would be incomplete without a mention of Hattie's. While upscale southern country cuisine at the Bishop Arts eatery provides a number of candidates for this list, the universally beloved prosciutto-wrapped figs appetizer ultimately makes the cut. A mixture of walnuts and blue cheese are stuffed inside notoriously sweet black mission figs then finished off with an outer layer of prosciutto. The saltiness of the prosciutto, the pungency of the cheese and the sweetness of the figs play well together and pack a strong blast of flavor with each bite-sized pop.
