Equipment

  • 1 baking tin

Ingredients

  • 12 Fresh figs (medium size)
  • 12 Slices of prosciutto (ask for it to be sliced as thin as possible)
  • 1/2 cup Goats cheese (soft and crumbly type)
  • 1/4 cup Honey (for drizzling)

Instructions

  • Pre heat oven to 200 degree Celsius (fan forced)
  • Cut the top off the fig where the stem is (see video for detail)
  • Cut the fig by scoring a cross in the top to open it up (see video)
  • Stuff figs with 1 heaped teaspoon of goats cheese each
  • Wrap each fig with 1 piece of prosciutto
  • Place wrapped figs on parchment/ baking paper on baking tray and pop in the oven for 15 minutes
  • Remove figs from the oven and allow to cool slightly
  • Prosciutto should be crisp, figs soft but not mushy and goats cheese melted
  • If serving as a canape arrange figs on a large platter and then drizzle with honey
  • If serving as an appetizer divide figs amongst four plates (perhaps on a bed of dressed rocket)
  • Enjoy warm (not hot as figs can retain their heat and burn your mouth if too hot)
