Ingredients

200 g goat cheese (1 log)
4 slices prosciutto
1 fig
10 walnuts
2 tbsp honey

Metric - US Customary

Instructions

Slice the goat cheese log into 8 pieces. Place them on an oven tray lined with baking paper and bake in the preheated oven at 200°C (390°F) for 10 minutes.
As the cheese bakes, cut the prosciutto slices in half and roughly chop the walnuts. Slice up the fig. If the honey is not liquid, lightly warm it to melt for easier drizzling.
Take the cheese slices out of the oven and transfer to a serving plate.
Sprinkle chopped walnuts over the cheese. Place prosciutto slice lightly ruffled over the walnuts. Top with a fig slice.
Gently drizzle the honey over every cheese bit. Top with remaining chopped walnuts.

Notes

The yield is 8 bits. If serving this along with other finger foods, 2 per person might be enough as a small starter, so one log serves 4 people. If planning on having only this, you should definitely double up the recipe, as one log would be enough to serve 2 people (with 4 baked cheese bits per person).
