Serves 4

Ingredients

Fresh figs
12, ripe and whole
Goat cheese
4 oz, softened
Prosciutto slices
6 slices, halved lengthwise
Honey
2 tablespoons
Balsamic glaze
2 tablespoons
Fresh basil leaves
12 leaves, for garnish

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Carefully cut a small slit in the top of each fig, about halfway down, creating a pocket for the cheese.
  3. Using a small spoon or your fingers, stuff each fig with a generous amount of softened goat cheese.
  4. Wrap each stuffed fig with a slice of prosciutto, ensuring the cheese is well-covered. Secure with a toothpick if needed.
  5. Place the wrapped figs on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, ensuring they are spaced apart for even cooking.
  6. In a small bowl, combine the honey and balsamic glaze. Drizzle this mixture evenly over the wrapped figs, allowing the flavors to meld during baking.
  7. Bake in the preheated oven for about 5-7 minutes, or until the prosciutto is crispy and the figs are softened.
  8. Remove from the oven and let them cool slightly before garnishing each fig with a fresh basil leaf.
  9. Serve warm and enjoy as a delightful appetizer or snack.

Tips

  • 💡 For an extra burst of flavor, consider adding crushed black pepper or a sprinkle of crushed red pepper flakes when drizzling the honey and balsamic glaze.
  • 💡 You can substitute goat cheese with cream cheese or blue cheese for a different flavor profile.
  • 💡 If fresh figs are not available, try this recipe with dried figs; just soak them in warm water for about 30 minutes beforehand.
