Sweet-tangy balsamic vinegar reduces to a syrupy glaze that glistens atop this simple yet elegant first course.

Very easy to make, delicious to eat. Made it as a last minute thing for a get together. Could probably cut the balsamic vinegar drizzle mixture in half - did not need as much as the recipe made.

Extremely good-- but I substituted crumbled goat cheese for the gorgonzola, and didn't heat up the prosciutto.
