Stuffed Figs Wrapped in Bacon
Ingredients
- 12 ripe fresh figs, washed and patted dry
- ⅓-½ cup ricotta cheese
- 6 slices bacon, cut in half
- balsamic glaze, optional
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375°.
- Starting a bit below the stem, cut the fig three-quarters of the way through. You'll be cutting straight down to the blossom end. Fill each fig with a teaspoon of ricotta and wrap with a piece of the bacon. Secure with a toothpick if you like.
- Place the figs on a sheet pan covered with parchment or foil. Bake for 30 minutes. After 30 minutes, turn the broiler on and broil for another 5 minutes or until the bacon is crisp. Remove figs to a plate. Drizzle with balsamic glaze if using. Serve.
