Servings: 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
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- 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.
- Wrap each fig with a slice of prosciutto, ensuring the basil leaf is tucked inside. Secure with a toothpick if necessary.
- Arrange the wrapped figs on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, ensuring they are spaced apart to allow even cooking.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the honey and balsamic vinegar until well combined to create a silky glaze.
- Generously brush the honey-balsamic glaze over each wrapped fig, ensuring they are evenly coated for maximum flavor.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the prosciutto turns crispy and the figs are softened and warm.
- Remove from the oven and allow to cool slightly before serving. These delectable bites are best enjoyed warm.
