Servings: 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

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