Ingredients

Fresh figs

12, ripe

Prosciutto slices

12, thin

Honey

3 tablespoons

Balsamic vinegar

1 tablespoon

Fresh basil leaves

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
2. Carefully cut a small cross at the top of each fig, about halfway down.
3. Wrap each fig with a slice of prosciutto, ensuring it covers the fig well, and secure with a toothpick.
4. Place the wrapped figs on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
5. In a small bowl, whisk together the honey and balsamic vinegar until well combined.
6. Using a brush, generously coat each fig with the honey-balsamic mixture, ensuring an even glaze.
7. Bake in the preheated oven for about 5 minutes, or until the prosciutto turns crispy and the figs soften slightly.
8. Remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes.
9. Garnish each glazed fig with a fresh basil leaf before serving.
10. Serve warm as an elegant appetizer or as part of a vibrant charcuterie board.
