Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 pieces fresh figs
- 2 pieces large eggs
- 120 ml milk
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 0.5 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoons butter
- 1 tablespoons powdered sugar (for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and lightly grease a baking dish with butter.
Carefully slice off the tops of the figs and scoop out some of the pulp from the center to create a small cavity for the filling. Reserve the removed pulp in a bowl.
In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, granulated sugar, ground cinnamon, and vanilla extract until fully combined and slightly frothy.
Stir the reserved fig pulp into the egg mixture for added sweetness and flavor.
Position the hollowed figs upright in the prepared baking dish. Using a small spoon or a piping bag, gently fill each fig with the egg mixture until just below the top edge.
Bake the figs in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until the egg mixture is set and slightly puffed up.
Remove the figs from the oven and allow them to cool slightly before serving.
Dust the tops of the figs with powdered sugar for a decorative finish and an extra touch of sweetness.
Serve warm as a brunch centerpiece or as a dessert alongside a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream.
