Method

Preheat the oven to gas 6, 200°C, fan 180°C. Lightly grease a baking tray. Halve each rasher through the middle. Wrap each fig quarter in a halved rasher of bacon, then transfer to the baking tray, cut-side down.
Bake for 10 mins, then flip over so each fig is facing upwards and drizzle over the maple syrup and sprinkle over the thyme. Bake for a further 10-15 mins or until the bacon is crispy and cooked through. Serve warm.

Tip: Try swapping the bacon for prosciutto, if you like.
