A quick and easy appetizer combining sweet figs, creamy goat cheese, and salty prosciutto, finished with a drizzle of honey for a perfect balance of flavors.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 12 fresh figs, ripe but firm
  • 12 slices prosciutto, thinly sliced
  • About 12 teaspoons (60g) goat cheese, soft and spreadable
  • 1 tablespoon (15ml) honey, raw or mild-flavored
  • Fresh thyme sprigs (optional)
  • Pinch of freshly cracked black pepper

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
  2. Gently rinse and pat dry the figs. Cut off the stem ends and slice each fig in half lengthwise.
  3. Spread about 1 teaspoon (5g) of goat cheese inside each fig half.
  4. Tear prosciutto slices in half lengthwise. Wrap each stuffed fig half with a strip of prosciutto, placing seam side down on the baking sheet.
  5. If using, tuck a tiny thyme leaf under each wrap or sprinkle lightly on top. Grind a pinch of black pepper over all.
  6. Bake for 12-15 minutes until prosciutto is crisp and figs are softened but hold their shape.
  7. Remove from oven and immediately drizzle honey evenly over the warm figs.
  8. Let cool for a minute or two, then transfer to a serving platter and serve warm.

Notes

Do not overfill figs with goat cheese to prevent prosciutto from slipping off. Use parchment paper to avoid sticky honey drips. Check figs at 10 minutes if your oven runs hot to prevent burning. Room temperature goat cheese spreads easier. Leftovers keep up to 2 days refrigerated; reheat gently in oven to restore crispness.
