Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 pieces Fresh figs
- 100 grams Stilton cheese
- 100 grams Goat cheese
- 8 slices Thinly sliced prosciutto
- 200 milliliters Port wine
- 1 tablespoon Honey
- 1 teaspoon Fresh thyme
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Olive oil
Instructions
1. Preheat a small saucepan over medium heat and add the port wine, honey, and fresh thyme. Bring the mixture to a simmer and cook for 10-12 minutes, or until it reduces by half and reaches a syrupy consistency. Stir occasionally to prevent burning. Once done, set the port reduction aside to cool.
2. In a small mixing bowl, combine the Stilton cheese and goat cheese. Use a spoon to mash and blend them together until well mixed and creamy.
3. Take each fig and make a small incision, slicing it three-quarters of the way through from top to bottom, creating a pocket. Be careful not to cut all the way through.
4. Stuff each fig with about 1 tablespoon of the cheese mixture. Use your fingers or a small spoon to gently press the cheese in, ensuring it stays inside the fig.
5. Lay out a slice of prosciutto on a clean surface. Place the stuffed fig at one end of the slice and carefully roll it up until the fig is fully wrapped in the prosciutto. Repeat this process for all 8 figs.
6. Heat a frying pan over medium heat and drizzle in the olive oil. Gently place the prosciutto-wrapped figs in the pan, seam-side down, and lightly sear them for about 1 minute on each side. This will crisp up the prosciutto and warm the filling slightly.
7. Remove the figs from the pan and arrange them on a serving plate. Drizzle the cooled port reduction over the top and sprinkle with black pepper for added flavor.
8. Serve immediately as an elegant appetizer or snack, perfect for pairing with wine.
