Crostini With Fig Spread & Bubbled Brie image

I found this recipe in a local town newspaper. After having an amazing appetizer with brie at a restaurant last weekend. We thought we'd give this a shot at home. It came out amazing. the sweetness of the figs and wine coupled with the creamy brie and crusty bread was to die for!

I can't wait to try this recipe with different types of fruit spreads. I think it would be great with peach or apricot spread.

These crostini are a great way to use up leftover brie. I always have a block of brie in my fridge, so this is a recipe I can make at any time.

The fig spread is the star of this dish. It's sweet and tangy, with a beautiful deep purple color.
