Method

Preheat the oven to gas 2, 150°C, fan 130°C. Put the garlic in a baking dish (about 18cm): the cloves should fit in a single layer with a little extra space. Tuck in the 2 rosemary sprigs and the peppercorns, then pour over the olive oil – the garlic should be submerged. Bake for 2 hrs or until the garlic is soft and lightly golden; set aside.
Increase the oven to gas 6, 200°C, fan 180°C. Put the ciabatta slices on a baking tray and lightly brush with 1 tbsp oil from the baking dish. Bake for 8-10 mins until crisp and lightly golden.
To assemble the wreath, arrange the crostini in a circle on a serving plate or board. Drain the garlic (discarding the oil) onto kitchen paper and spread or place over the crostini. Slice each goat’s cheese into 15 rounds, cutting some into half-moons if you like, then arrange over the crostini. Top with the Parma ham and figs, then scatter with the extra rosemary and drizzle with the honey and the balsamic glaze to serve.
