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
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Step 2
Cut each bacon slice in half crosswise, making 12 shorter strips.
Step 3
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.
Step 4
Stuff each fig with approximately 10 grams of Polish goat cheese. Be gentle to ensure the fig doesn’t break apart.
Step 5
Wrap each stuffed fig with a strip of bacon, securing the bacon in place with a toothpick.
Step 6
Place the wrapped figs on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they are spaced apart to allow even cooking.
Step 7
Sprinkle the figs with salt, black pepper, and chopped fresh rosemary to season them.
Step 8
Drizzle honey evenly over the top of the wrapped figs for a touch of sweetness.
Step 9
Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the bacon is crispy and golden.
Step 10
Remove from the oven and allow the appetizers to cool for 2-3 minutes before serving.
Step 11
Transfer the Figs Pigs to a serving platter, and enjoy this sweet and savory Polish-inspired treat!
