STUFFED FIGS IN A BLANKET
Steps:
- Heat the oven to 350 degrees F.
- Chop the cranberries and mix them into the goat cheese. Cut the tops off the apricots and use your finger to open up a hole. Fill an apricot with some of the cheese mixture, then push a raisin into it. Fill a fig with some cheese, then push the apricot into it. Repeat until all the fruit has been used. Slice the prosciutto slices in half lengthwise and wrap a slice around each fig. Place on a baking sheet and bake until the prosciutto has browned, about 20 to 25 minutes. Let cool a bit before serving.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C). Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper.

- Separate the crescent roll dough along the perforated edges, creating 16 triangles. Place a fig half at the base of each dough triangle, brush with honey, and roll to enclose. Set seam-side down on a prepared baking sheet. Brush the tops of wrapped figs with the herb butter.
- Bake, rotating and swapping the baking sheets top to bottom halfway through, until golden brown and puffed, 15-18 minutes.
- Drizzle with the remaining honey and top with freshly ground black pepper.
- Enjoy!

Tips:
- Choose ripe figs: Look for figs that are plump and slightly soft to the touch. Avoid figs that are too hard or have bruises.
- Use high-quality goat cheese: Fresh, creamy goat cheese will give your appetizer the best flavor. You can also use a flavored goat cheese, such as honey goat cheese or herb goat cheese.
- Wrap the figs tightly in prosciutto: This will help to keep the filling inside and prevent the figs from drying out. If you don't have prosciutto, you can also use serrano ham or bacon.
- Cook the figs until the prosciutto is crispy: This will take about 10-15 minutes in a preheated oven. Keep an eye on the figs so that they don't overcook.
- Serve the figs warm or at room temperature: They can be served as an appetizer or a light lunch or dinner.
Conclusion:
Figs in a Blanket with Goat Cheese are a delicious and easy appetizer that is perfect for any occasion. They are made with just a few simple ingredients and can be prepared in under 30 minutes. The combination of sweet figs, creamy goat cheese, and crispy prosciutto is sure to please everyone at your party. This appetizer is also a great way to use up any leftover figs you may have.
