Tip: Choose figs that are unblemished and give a little bit when you gently press them.
2 tbsp balsamic vinegar
2 tbsp honey
12 fresh figs, stems trimmed
12 thick shards parmesan, about 24 g total
4 slices speck or prosciutto, each cut into 4 pieces
BOIL vinegar and honey in a small saucepan until syrupy, about 4 min. Set aside to cool.
PARTIALLY quarter figs, cutting three-quarters of the way down. Stuff each fig with 1 cheese shard and a piece of speck, then drizzle with 1/2 tsp syrup.
Make-Ahead Tip: Figs can be assembled 3 hours in advance. Cover and refrigerate stuffed figs, then drizzle with room-temperature balsamic glaze when ready to serve.
