Ingredients
- 16 medium fresh figs, halved lengthwise
- 8 slices prosciutto, halved lengthwise
- 2 tbsp balsamic glaze
- 1 tbsp fresh rosemary, finely chopped
- 0.5 tsp salt
- 0.25 tsp black pepper
Instructions
- 1
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup. This will ensure the prosciutto crisps up beautifully without sticking.
- 2
Gently wrap each fig half with a piece of prosciutto, ensuring the cut side is covered. The prosciutto should cling to the fig, creating a neat package.
- 3
Arrange the prosciutto-wrapped figs on the prepared baking sheet, cut-side up. Drizzle them generously with the balsamic glaze, allowing it to pool slightly in the fig halves.
- 4
Sprinkle the chopped fresh rosemary evenly over the figs, then season with salt and black pepper. The rosemary will infuse a lovely aroma as they bake, and the salt and pepper will enhance the sweet and savory notes.
- 5
Bake for approximately 15-20 minutes, or until the prosciutto is golden brown and crispy, and the figs are softened and slightly caramelized. The kitchen will fill with a wonderful aroma as they cook.
- 6
Carefully remove the baking sheet from the oven and let the prosciutto-wrapped figs cool for a few minutes before serving. They are best served warm, allowing the flavors to meld together perfectly.
