Serves 12

Ingredients

Fresh figs
12, ripe
Prosciutto slices
12, thin
Honey
3 tablespoons
Balsamic vinegar
1 tablespoon
Fresh basil leaves
12, for garnish

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.

Tips

  • 💡 For a gourmet touch, consider drizzling additional balsamic reduction over the figs just before serving.
  • 💡 If fresh figs are unavailable, you can use dried figs, but adjust the baking time as needed to ensure they are heated through.
  • 💡 Pair these figs with a glass of sweet dessert wine or a light white wine for a delightful flavor combination.
