Time 8h35m

Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 cup finely chopped dried figs
½ cup cider vinegar
¼ cup brown sugar
¼ cup minced white onion
½ teaspoon ground ginger
1 pinch garlic powder
1 pinch cayenne pepper
1 pinch ground cloves
1 pinch ground cinnamon
1 (8 ounce) loaf French bread, cut into 1-inch slices
olive oil cooking spray
1 (8 ounce) round Brie cheese, cut into bite-size pieces
1 Granny Smith apple, cut into matchstick-size pieces
1 tablespoon oregano

Steps:

  • Combine figs, vinegar, brown sugar, onion, ginger, garlic powder, cayenne pepper, cloves, and cinnamon in a saucepan; simmer over low heat, stirring occasionally, until fig spread is reduced, about 30 minutes. Transfer fig spread to a bowl, cover with plastic wrap, and refrigerate, 8 hours to overnight.
  • Set oven rack about 6 inches from the heat source and preheat the oven's broiler.
  • Arrange bread slices on a baking sheet. Lightly spray both sides of each bread slice with olive oil cooking spray.
  • Bake bread slices under the broiler until toasted, about 2 minutes per side. Remove bread from oven and cool slightly, keeping broiler on.
  • Blend fig spread in a blender or food processor until pureed. Spread about 1 teaspoon fig spread onto each toasted bread slice; top with Brie cheese and apple pieces. Sprinkle each crostini with oregano.
  • Broil crostini in the preheated oven until Brie cheese is melted and browned, 1 to 2 minutes.

I'm not a big fan of figs, but I really enjoyed this recipe. The brie and crostini balanced out the sweetness of the figs perfectly.

This was so easy to make and so delicious! I used a baguette instead of a crostini and it worked perfectly. The flavors were amazing.
