Serves 4

Ingredients

Fresh figs
12
Prosciutto slices
12 slices
Fresh basil leaves
12 leaves
Honey
3 tablespoons
Balsamic vinegar
2 tablespoons
Toothpicks
as needed

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Gently wash the figs under cold water and pat them dry with a paper towel. Cut a small slit in the top of each fig and carefully stuff it with a fresh basil leaf.
  3. Wrap each fig with a slice of prosciutto, ensuring the basil leaf is tucked inside. Secure with a toothpick if necessary.
  4. Arrange the wrapped figs on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, ensuring they are spaced apart to allow even cooking.
  5. In a small bowl, whisk together the honey and balsamic vinegar until well combined to create a silky glaze.
  6. Generously brush the honey-balsamic glaze over each wrapped fig, ensuring they are evenly coated for maximum flavor.
  7. Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the prosciutto turns crispy and the figs are softened and warm.
  8. Remove from the oven and allow to cool slightly before serving. These delectable bites are best enjoyed warm.

Tips

  • 💡 For added depth of flavor, try drizzling a bit of extra balsamic reduction over the figs just before serving.
  • 💡 Feel free to experiment by adding a small piece of goat cheese inside the figs before wrapping them in prosciutto for a creamy twist.
  • 💡 If fresh figs are unavailable, you can use dried figs, but reduce the baking time to avoid over-drying.
