½ stick unsalted butter
½ teaspoon ground sage
1 teaspoon dried rosemary
½ teaspoon kosher salt
2 packages crescent rolls

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.
