Ingredients
  

  • 8 pieces fresh figs plump and slightly soft
  • 4 oz Brie cheese cut into small pieces
  • 4 slices prosciutto thinly sliced
  • 1 tsp honey optional, for drizzling
  • 8 toothpicks toothpicks for securing the bites

Equipment

  • Baking sheet
  • Parchment paper
  • Small knife
  • Toothpicks

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 200°C (390°F). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
  2. Gently wash the figs and pat them dry. Slice each fig in half through the stem to create two halves.
  3. Use the small knife to carefully scoop out a small section of the fig's center from each half, creating a cavity for the cheese.
  4. Place a small piece of Brie cheese inside each fig cavity, pressing gently to distribute evenly.
  5. Wrap each stuffed fig with a slice of prosciutto, ensuring it covers the cheese and holds the fig together. Secure with a toothpick if needed.
  6. Arrange the prosciutto-wrapped figs on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them evenly.
  7. Bake in the oven for 10-12 minutes, until the prosciutto is crisp and the Brie is melted and bubbling.
  8. Remove from the oven and let cool slightly for 2 minutes. If desired, drizzle with a touch of honey for extra sweetness.
  9. Serve warm or at room temperature, garnished with fresh herbs if desired. Enjoy these elegant, flavor-packed bites!
