How to make Brie Stuffed Figs with Prosciutto
- Step 1
Wash each fig and dry thoroughly. Preheat oven to 400°.
- Step 2
Roll out the puff pastry and cut out 8 circles using a 3-inch round cookie or biscuit cutter. Using a smaller cutter, lightly make an indention in the center of each circle without pressing all the way down. This will create a cut-out for the fig to sit into.
- Step 3
Place each cut round on a sheet pan and bake for 15-18 minutes, until lightly golden brown.
- Step 4
Add cream cheese and Brie to a food processor. Pulse until whipped together, scraping down the sides as needed to ensure the mixture is smooth.
- Step 5
Using a paring knife, score each fig on the top by making an 'X', opening the fig enough to stuff it.
- Step 6
Fold about 1/4 of a slice of prosciutto and gently place it inside each fig.
- Step 7
Spoon or pipe the whipped cheese mixture into the figs on top of the prosciutto.
- Step 8
Sprinkle the figs with crushed pistachios and garnish with edible flowers if desired.
- Step 9
Place each stuffed fig on a puff pastry base and serve.

Tips & Tricks
Ensure the figs are fresh and not dried for the best flavor and texture.
Thaw the puff pastry in the refrigerator overnight for easier handling.
Use a pastry bag to pipe the cheese mixture for a cleaner presentation.
Crush pistachios just before use to maintain their freshness and crunch.
Dried edible flowers are a great garnish option as they last longer than fresh ones.
FAQS
Can I use dried figs instead of fresh figs?
No, this recipe specifically calls for fresh figs as dried figs have a different texture and sweetness that won't work well here.
Can I prepare the puff pastry rounds in advance?
Yes, you can bake the puff pastry rounds a few hours ahead of time and store them in an airtight container until ready to use.
What can I use instead of pistachios?
You can substitute pistachios with other nuts like almonds or walnuts, but ensure they are crushed for a similar texture.
Can I use low-fat cream cheese?
It is recommended to use full-fat cream cheese for the best flavor and consistency in the whipped cheese mixture.
How do I store leftovers?
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Note that the puff pastry may lose its crispness over time.
