Serves 6

Ingredients

Fresh figs
12, ripe
Prosciutto slices
12, thinly sliced
Fresh thyme leaves
2 tablespoons
Dijon mustard
2 tablespoons
Honey
2 tablespoons
Balsamic vinegar
1 tablespoon
Salt
1/4 teaspoon
Black pepper
1/4 teaspoon, freshly ground

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Carefully cut a small slit in the top of each fig, creating a pocket for the thyme.
  3. Stuff each fig with a small piece of fresh thyme, allowing the aromatic flavor to infuse.
  4. Wrap each fig with a slice of prosciutto, ensuring to cover the fig completely. Secure with a toothpick if needed.
  5. In a small bowl, whisk together the honey, Dijon mustard, balsamic vinegar, salt, and black pepper until well combined to form a glaze.
  6. Brush the honey mustard glaze generously over the wrapped figs, ensuring they are evenly coated.
  7. Arrange the figs on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
  8. Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the prosciutto is crispy and the figs are tender.
  9. Remove from the oven and allow to cool slightly before serving warm.

Tips

  • 💡 For added flavor, consider drizzling the figs with a balsamic reduction after baking.
  • 💡 Feel free to experiment with different herbs like rosemary or mint for stuffing.
  • 💡 These wrapped figs can also be served chilled, making them versatile for any occasion.
