½ teaspoon chopped fresh thyme leaves, or small stems
Directions
-
PREHEAT oven to 375ºF.

-
CUT a small slice in the fig from the base of stem to half way down. Stuff a chunk of cheese in the fig that is appropriate for what the fig size can handle.
-
WRAP the figs with a piece of prosciutto that has been cut in half the long way. (There is no need for toothpicks or plastic wrap - the prosciutto will adhere to itself.)
