4. Drizzle the balsamic vinegar over the figs and bake in the oven for 8-10 minutes until the Parma ham crisps up and before the cheese starts to ooze out of the figs. Serve immediately, with any pan juices spooned over and sprinkled with chopped mint and freshly ground black pepper.

View all comments (4)Everybody loved these, but I found it needed longer cooking time to make the Parma ham crisp up. Great starter
Made this last night - so easy and really tasty. Could well become a favourite.
I made this dish last night and it was raved about. We ate the skins.
