A sweet and savory appetizer that combines fresh baked figs, goats cheese, fresh basil, and crispy prosciutto into a delectable bite.
Preheat oven to 450° and line a baking tray with parchment paper.
Slice the figs in half, up to the stem, leaving a small part combined near the top of the fruit.
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.
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. Wrap a piece of prosciutto around the fig, letting it stick to itself to secure it on the ends.
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.
Transfer the baked figs onto a serving tray and drizzle with balsamic vinegar or glaze. Serve warm and enjoy!
