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.

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!
