Steps:
- Heat a toastie maker or a small griddle pan. Butter each slice of bread on one side, then spread the other side of one slice with fig jam, and one with mustard. Top the fig jam with brie and ham, sandwich with the remaining bread, butter-side up, then place in the toastie maker or the griddle pan. If cooking in a pan, squash down a little with the back of a fish slice while cooking, flip over after 2-3 mins when golden, then cook on the other side. Serve with a handful of salad leaves on the side, if you like.

FIG JAM AND GOAT CHEESE CROSTINI
Flavors of fall 'sage and figs' pair up with tangy goat cheese for an elegant appetizer that's a perfect pairing for a glass of bubbly. The toasts can be made up to a day ahead and stored at room temperature in an airtight container. The sage can also be prepared a day ahead, loosely wrapped in a paper towel, and stored in an airtight container. Fig jam can be purchased at high-end grocery stores. Quince jam, a.k.a. membrillo, would also be delicious here. Taken from CHOW.com

Steps:
- Heat the oven to 400°F
- Cut the baguette on the bias into about 20 (1/2-inch-thick) slices and place on a baking sheet.
- Using 1 tablespoon of the olive oil, lightly brush each slice. Sprinkle with salt and bake until lightly toasted and crisp, about 8 minutes; let cool.
- Line a plate with paper towels and set aside.
- Heat the remaining olive oil in a small frying pan over medium-low heat. When the oil shimmers, gently place 2 to 3 sage leaves at a time into the hot oil until they darken in color and any bubbling subsides.
- Immediately remove the leaves with tongs or a slotted spoon and transfer to the paper-towel-lined plate.
- Repeat with remaining sage leaves; set aside.
- Gently spread 1 teaspoon of the goat cheese on each crostini, top with a heaping 1/2 teaspoon of the fig jam, and garnish with a fried sage leaf.
Tips:
- Use a good quality baguette or ciabatta bread for the crostini. This will make a big difference in the overall flavor of the dish.
- Slice the bread into thin, even slices. This will help them toast evenly.
- Brush the bread slices with olive oil before toasting. This will help them get crispy and golden brown.
- Top the crostini with your favorite toppings. Classic options include ham and brie, but you can also try other combinations like smoked salmon and cream cheese, or roasted vegetables and goat cheese.
- Garnish the crostini with fresh herbs or a drizzle of balsamic vinegar for an extra touch of flavor.

Ham and brie crostini with fig jam is a delicious and easy appetizer that is perfect for any occasion. With just a few simple ingredients, you can create a dish that is sure to impress your guests.
