Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 12 pieces Fresh figs
- 6 pieces Bacon slices
- 120 grams Polish goat cheese
- 2 tablespoons Honey
- 1 teaspoon Fresh rosemary
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 12 pieces Toothpicks
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Cut each bacon slice in half crosswise, making 12 shorter strips.
Rinse the fresh figs and pat them dry. Cut a small cross-shaped slit on the top of each fig, about halfway down, to create an opening without cutting through completely.
Stuff each fig with approximately 10 grams of Polish goat cheese. Be gentle to ensure the fig doesn’t break apart.
Wrap each stuffed fig with a strip of bacon, securing the bacon in place with a toothpick.
Place the wrapped figs on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they are spaced apart to allow even cooking.
Sprinkle the figs with salt, black pepper, and chopped fresh rosemary to season them.
Drizzle honey evenly over the top of the wrapped figs for a touch of sweetness.
Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the bacon is crispy and golden.
Remove from the oven and allow the appetizers to cool for 2-3 minutes before serving.
Transfer the Figs Pigs to a serving platter, and enjoy this sweet and savory Polish-inspired treat!
