Ingredients

• 6 large fresh figs, stems removed
• 4 oz log goat cheese
• 1 sheet puff pastry, thawed
• 1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. Cut each fig in half lengthwise, making sure not to cut all the way through.
3. Stuff each fig with a small amount of goat cheese, approximately 1/2 teaspoon per fig.
4. Roll out the puff pastry on a lightly floured surface and cut into 6 equal squares.
5. Place a stuffed fig in the center of each pastry square.
6. Fold the corners of the pastry over the fig to create a ‘blanket’, pressing the edges gently to seal.
7. Brush the top of the pastry with the beaten egg to ensure a golden finish.
8. Bake in the preheated oven for 20 to 25 minutes until the pastry is golden brown and puffed evenly.
9. Allow to cool slightly on a wire rack before serving.
