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 (6)This is one of my favourite starters of all time.... Quick and easy. I usually use Gorgonzola cheese as it's not as strong as those mentioned in the recipe.
Fantastic recipe for a Summer evening snack. Living in Greece we have an abundance of Purple Figs at this time of the year & this is just the thing when it's really hot & you just want to pop something in the oven. All it needs is some lovely crusty local bread to mop up the juices
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.
Do you eat the skins of the figs?
