Roasted Figs with Cheese and Bacon
This recipe is the perfect storm of sweet and savoury yumminess and a great appetizer.
Ingredients
- 6-8 fresh figs
- hard cheese (Parmesan, Gruyère or Comté)
- 3 slices Parma ham or Speck
- salt and pepper
Instructions
- Chop off the little stem so that each fig half can be sliced in two horizontally (if you slice them longways they fall over too easily).
- Add a slice of cheese and ham on top of each fig and add pepper and salt.
- Put in a preheated oven at 325°F (160°C) degrees and leave to roast for about 10 minutes, until the cheese has melted and the bacon crisped up.
- Make sure you don’t leave it for so long that the fig collapses and turns to mush.
- Serve on a pretty dish, the fig should be firm enough for your guests to pick up easily.
