Preheat your grill or broiler to medium-high heat.
Wash the figs and pat them dry. Cut a small cross at the top of each fig without cutting all the way through to open them slightly.
Stuff each fig with approximately 1.5 teaspoons of goat cheese, ensuring it fills the opening but does not overflow excessively.
Wrap each stuffed fig with a slice of Parma ham, securing it carefully around the fig. If needed, use a toothpick to hold the ham in place.
Place the figs on a baking tray lined with parchment paper and lightly drizzle them with olive oil.
Grill or broil the figs for 3-5 minutes, keeping a close eye to ensure the Parma ham crisps slightly and the goat cheese begins to melt but does not overcook.
Remove the figs from the grill and let them cool slightly for 1-2 minutes.
Transfer to a serving platter, drizzle with honey, and sprinkle with fresh thyme leaves and a dash of cracked black pepper.
Serve warm as a starter or part of a charcuterie board. Enjoy!
