Honeyed Fig and Bacon Rolls

A delightfully tender and teasingly extravagant snack, that's ready to eat in under 30 minutes and stupidly easy to cook. It's my new fave!

Ingredients

  • 1 tbsp soft cheese
  • 1 tbsp honey (preferably runny!), plus extra for drizzling
  • 2 figs, cut into quarters
  • 1 pack of veggie bacon (ideally 6-8 rashers)
  • 4 fresh sage leaves, finely chopped
  • 1 sprig fresh rosemary, finely chopped
  • 1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
  • Sprinkle of salt

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 200°C / 400°F / Fan 180°C / Gas Mark 6.
  2. In a small bowl mix together the soft cheese, honey, fresh sage eaves and chopped rosemary with a sprinkling of salt until everything is combined. The mixture should be quick thick!
  3. Lay the bacon rashers out on a chopping board and spread out a tbsp of the honeyed cheese mix along each one. Then place one of the fig quarters on top, towards one of the corners, and starting at this end, roll the bacon rasher around the fig.
  4. In a hot saucepan, add the olive oil and wait until the oil is hot. Then gently place the bacon rolls and cook on both sides of the rolls for roughly 4 minutes on each side. (Be quite gentle here, as the rolls can come undone if you do this too quickly).
  5. Place the bacon rolls on a baking tray, lined with greaseproof paper, and drizzle over the extra honey and sprinkling of sea salt and bake in the oven for roughly 5-10 minutes until golden and moist. Serve immediately!
