These Prosciutto-Wrapped Figs are a sophisticated harmony of sweet, salty, and creamy. Fresh, ripe figs are gently stuffed with tangy goat cheese, then lovingly wrapped in delicate slices of prosciutto. After a quick roast or grill, they emerge warm and indulgent, finished with a drizzle of balsamic glaze and fresh thyme. A perfect balance for any cheese board, cocktail hour, or romantic dinner.
-
Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C) or preheat grill.
-
Gently rinse and pat dry the figs.
-
Slice each fig lengthwise down the center, without cutting all the way through—just enough to create a pocket.
-
Use a small spoon or piping bag to fill each fig with about 1 teaspoon of goat cheese. Don’t overfill.
-
Take a halved slice of prosciutto and wrap it around the stuffed fig, covering the seam.
-
Secure with a toothpick if needed (especially for grilling).
-
Place figs seam-side down on a parchment-lined baking tray.
-
Roast in the oven for 8–10 minutes, until the prosciutto crisps and the cheese softens.
OR -
Grill over medium heat for 5–7 minutes, turning occasionally for even crisping.
-
Transfer to a serving platter.
-
Drizzle with honey or balsamic glaze.
-
Sprinkle with fresh thyme and a touch of cracked black pepper.
-
Sparkling rosé or dry Prosecco highlights the salty-sweet balance beautifully.
-
For bold flavors, try Chianti or Sangiovese.
-
You can substitute blue cheese for goat cheese for a more pungent bite.
-
Add a toasted almond or walnut inside each fig for a nutty crunch.
-
These also work wonderfully with dried figs—just soak them in warm water for 15 minutes to plump them up first.
