Roasting figs in my toaster oven is one of my favorite pastimes. So when Refinery29 came round to ask for my ideal roster of holiday appetizers, I immediately started fantasizing about these.

The juicy orbs puff up and plump vibrantly, taking on astonishing degrees of sensuality. These mouth-orgasming bites deliver the creamy mellow coolness of burrata, salty prosciutto, tangy depth of balsamic, and earthy thyme—all on one blushing roasted fig.

Need I say more? They take less than 10 minutes to make!
