A quick and easy appetizer combining salty prosciutto, creamy goat cheese, and sweet honey drizzled over fresh figs, perfect for entertaining and impressing guests.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 12 medium-sized fresh figs, ripe but firm
  • 6 thin slices prosciutto, cut in half lengthwise
  • 4 ounces goat cheese, softened to room temperature
  • 2 tablespoons honey, preferably floral or wildflower
  • 1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves (optional)
  • Pinch of freshly ground black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon olive oil (optional, for brushing figs)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Rinse and pat dry the fresh figs. Cut off the stem ends and slice each fig in half lengthwise. Quarter if figs are very large.
  3. In a small bowl, stir the goat cheese until smooth and spreadable. Let sit at room temperature for 10 minutes if too stiff.
  4. Optionally brush the cut side of each fig half lightly with olive oil.
  5. Take a half slice of prosciutto and place a fig half on one end. Spread about a teaspoon of goat cheese on the cut side of the fig, sprinkle with fresh thyme leaves and black pepper.
  6. Carefully roll the prosciutto around the fig and cheese, placing each wrapped fig seam side down on the baking sheet.
  7. Bake for 8-10 minutes until the prosciutto is crisp and figs are warmed through, watching carefully to avoid overcooking.
  8. Drizzle each warm bite with honey immediately after baking.
  9. Serve warm or at room temperature.

Notes

Use fresh figs whenever possible for best texture and flavor. If using dried figs, soak briefly in warm water. Avoid overcooking to prevent figs from becoming mushy. Room temperature goat cheese spreads easily and melts slightly without dripping. Honey drizzle adds essential sweetness contrast. Can be warmed gently on stovetop or toaster oven if preferred.
