This might be one of the easiest appetizer recipes I’ve made…and one of the most delicious! This super easy appetizer recipe uses fresh figs that you stuff with a rosemary goat cheese, wrap in prosciutto, bake until perfection, and then drizzle with a pepper honey. Hellllloooo heavenly appetizer!
6 figs
2 oz goat cheese
1 teaspoon chopped fresh rosemary
2 slices prosciutto
Olive Oil
Flaky sea salt
Pepper
1 tablespoon honey
1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes
1/2 teaspoon cracked black pepper
1/2 teaspoon chopped fresh rosemary
Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F and line a small sheet tray with parchment paper
Using a small knife cut off the tip of a fresh fig. Cut the fig in half 3/4 of the way down (you want to keep it intact!) and then cut across the other half 3/4 of the way down. It’ll look like you made a big X on the fig. Set them on the parchment paper
In a small bowl combine the goat cheese and chopped fresh rosemary until mixed
Take a small spoonful of the goat cheese and add it to the middle of the cut figs to fill them
Take a piece of prosciutto and cut it into thirds longways
Take a slice of prosciutto and wrap it around the lower part of the fig. No need to use a toothpick to secure it
Once all of them are wrapped drizzle with a little olive oil, a sprinkle of flaky sea salt, and a good crack of pepper
Bake for 25 minutes
While the figs are cooking make your pepper honey by combining honey, red pepper flakes, and cracked black pepper together in a small bowl
Once cooked add the figs to a serving plate, drizzle with the pepper honey, and sprinkle a little more chopped rosemary on the top. YUM
