Ingredients
Ingredients
- 2 cups figs, sliced in half
- 1/2 cup goat cheese (preferably honey goat cheese)
- 3-4 pieces prosciutto, cut lengthwise
- 4 tbsp hot pepper jelly
- Fresh thyme for garnish
Instructions
- Prepare Figs: Slice the figs in half to create a flat surface for the goat cheese.
- Stuff with Goat Cheese: Spread the goat cheese evenly on the cut side of each fig half.
- Wrap with Prosciutto: Carefully wrap each goat cheese-topped fig half with a piece of prosciutto lengthwise, ensuring it is securely covered.
- Apply Hot Pepper Jelly: Brush each wrapped fig generously with hot pepper jelly to add a spicy-sweet glaze.
- Bake: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Arrange the figs on a baking sheet and bake for 10 minutes or until the prosciutto becomes crispy. Alternatively, air fry at 350°F for 8–10 minutes for a quicker option.
- Garnish and Serve: After baking, drizzle additional hot pepper jelly over the figs and sprinkle fresh thyme leaves on top. Serve warm and enjoy!
Notes
- You can substitute honey goat cheese with plain goat cheese and drizzle honey after baking if desired.
- Adjust the amount of hot pepper jelly according to your spice tolerance.
- For a crispier texture, air frying is a good alternative to baking.
- Serve immediately for best flavor and texture.
