Ingredients

• 8 pieces fresh figs
• 8 slices Parma ham (prosciutto)
• 120 grams goat cheese
• 2 tablespoons honey
• 1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves
• 1 teaspoon olive oil
• 0.5 teaspoon cracked black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your grill or broiler to medium-high heat.

Step 2

Wash the figs and pat them dry. Cut a small cross at the top of each fig without cutting all the way through to open them slightly.

Step 3

Stuff each fig with approximately 1.5 teaspoons of goat cheese, ensuring it fills the opening but does not overflow excessively.

Step 4

Wrap each stuffed fig with a slice of Parma ham, securing it carefully around the fig. If needed, use a toothpick to hold the ham in place.

Step 5

Place the figs on a baking tray lined with parchment paper and lightly drizzle them with olive oil.

Step 6

Grill or broil the figs for 3-5 minutes, keeping a close eye to ensure the Parma ham crisps slightly and the goat cheese begins to melt but does not overcook.

Step 7

Remove the figs from the grill and let them cool slightly for 1-2 minutes.

Step 8

Transfer to a serving platter, drizzle with honey, and sprinkle with fresh thyme leaves and a dash of cracked black pepper.

Step 9

Serve warm as a starter or part of a charcuterie board. Enjoy!
