Fig & Brie Fire Poppers Wrapped in Prosciutto

Instructions:

1. Preheat the oven to 400°F (205°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or foil.
2. Place jalapeño halves cut-side up on the prepared baking sheet.
3. Fill each jalapeño with a piece of Brie cheese.
4. Spoon a small dollop of fig preserves over the Brie.
5. Wrap each stuffed jalapeño tightly with a strip of prosciutto, seam-side down. Secure with toothpicks if needed.
6. Arrange poppers evenly on the baking sheet.
7. Bake for 16–18 minutes, until the prosciutto is crisp and the Brie is melted and bubbly.
8. Remove from the oven and let cool slightly.
9. Finish with cracked black pepper and optional thyme or balsamic glaze before serving.

Variations :

• Swap fig preserves for apricot or raspberry jam.
• Use honey-drizzled goat cheese instead of Brie for a tangier bite.
• Add a thin slice of fresh pear under the Brie for extra sweetness.
• Wrap with thin bacon instead of prosciutto for a smokier flavor.

Tips :

• Removing the jalapeño membranes keeps the heat balanced and pleasant.
• Use thin prosciutto so it crisps without overpowering the filling.
• Serve warm for the best texture and flavor contrast.
• A light drizzle of hot honey just before serving adds an incredible sweet-heat finish.
