Meet your new go‑to seasonal appetizer: Figs in a Blanket, a simple, five‑ingredient bite created by mother‑daughter team Lexi Harrison and Beth Sinclair, the duo behind crowded_kitchen. In this video and recipe, they show how fresh figs, a few pantry staples, and almost no prep time come together to make an elegant, effortless snack—perfect for any gathering while figs are at their peak.
Ingredients:
- Serves 4 (makes 12 total)
- 6 large figs, sliced in half
- 6 slices prosciutto, sliced in half lengthwise
- 1/4 cup goat cheese (we used herb goat cheese)
- For serving: honey, balsamic glaze, black pepper
Method:
- Preheat oven to 375°F.
- Slice each fig in half. Use a small spoon (or a melon baller) to scoop out some of the inside. Don’t get rid of it – enjoy with some yogurt or in another recipe!
- Fill each cavity with ~1 tsp goat cheese (more or less depending on the size of your figs.
- Wrap each fig tightly in prosciutto. If it’s wrapped too loosely, some of the goat cheese may ooze out while baking.
- Place flat side down on a nonstick baking sheet.
- Bake for 15-18 minutes, until the prosciutto is crispy on the bottom and the figs are soft. Let cool for a few minutes, then transfer to a plate.
- Drizzle with honey, balsamic glaze and black pepper. Enjoy warm!
