Baked Figs with Honey & Thyme

Figs baked until jammy, with a drizzle of honey and a scattering of fresh thyme. The thyme is an unexpected but brilliant partner—herbal, savoury, and it makes the figs sing.

Ingredients (Serves 2):

• 4 ripe figs, halved
• 1 tsp honey
• A few sprigs of fresh thyme
• Greek yoghurt to serve

Method:

1. Arrange the figs cut-side up in a baking dish. Drizzle with honey and scatter with thyme leaves.
2. Bake at 180°C for 10–12 minutes until soft. Serve with a dollop of yoghurt.

Why it's gut-friendly: Figs are a prebiotic powerhouse. Thyme is antimicrobial. Yoghurt adds probiotics.
