Description

A sweet and savory appetizer that combines fresh baked figs, goats cheese, fresh basil, and crispy prosciutto into a delectable bite.

Ingredients
  • 12 figs
  • 4 oz goat cheese, divided into 12 portions
  • 1 teaspoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon fresh basil, chopped
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon pepper
  • 6 slices of prosciutto
  • 1 tbsp balsamic vinegar or balsamic glaze
Instructions
  1. 1

    Preheat oven to 450° and line a baking tray with parchment paper.

  2. 2

    Slice the figs in half, up to the stem, leaving a small part combined near the top of the fruit.

  3. 3

    In a small mixing bowl, add the goat cheese, fresh chopped basil, olive oil, salt and pepper. Use a fork or spoon to mash the ingredients together until the basil is evenly distributed and the olive oil is fully incorporated.

  4. 4

    Use a spoon or butter knife to add a portion of the goat cheese mixture into the center of each fig, bringing the two halves together like a sandwich.

  5. 5

    Arrange the wrapped figs on the baking tray, stem side up, and bake for 7-8 minutes until warmed through and the prosciutto begins to crisp.

  6. 6

    Transfer the baked figs onto a serving tray and drizzle with balsamic vinegar or glaze. Serve warm and enjoy!
