Equipment

1 Baking Sheet
1 Parchment Paper To line baking sheet
1 Small Bowl For honey mixture
1 Toothpicks (Optional, to secure prosciutto)

Ingredients

Main

4 large whole figs or 16 small mission figs, quartered
Goat cheese
1 3-ounce package prosciutto
3 tablespoons honey
1/4 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice

Instructions

Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper; set aside.
Cut a small hole in the center of the flesh of each fig. Fill each hole with 1/4 teaspoon of goat cheese.
Take a prosciutto slice and tear in half. Use 1 half to diagonally wrap around the fig, starting from the top. Tuck underneath at the ends. Repeat until all figs are wrapped. (Secure with toothpicks if necessary.) Place wrapped figs on prepared baking sheet, evenly spaced.
In a small bowl, combine honey and pumpkin pie spice. Drizzle honey evenly over each fig.
Place in the oven on the top rack and roast for 8 to 10 minutes. Remove and serve immediately.

Notes

Use ripe but still firm figs for the best texture; overly soft figs can become mushy when roasted. Ensure the prosciutto is wrapped snugly but not too tightly to allow it to crisp slightly. If you prefer crispier prosciutto, extend the cooking time by a minute or two, but watch carefully to prevent the figs from overcooking. Goat cheese can be substituted with a crumbly feta or a mild blue cheese for a different flavor profile. A final drizzle of balsamic glaze before serving adds a complex sweet and tangy note.
