Figs:
1/2 cup dried black Mission figs, stemmed, halved
1 cup boiling water
3/4 cup dry red wine
2 tablespoons sugar
1 small bay leaf
1/8 teaspoon coarse kosher salt
1 teaspoon red wine vinegar
Onion:
1 1/2 teaspoons butter
1 1/2 teaspoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 medium red onion, halved through core, cut lengthwise into 1/2-inch-thick strips
2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
1/2 teaspoon sugar
Coarse kosher salt
Ricotta:
1 cup fresh ricotta cheese
1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil plus additional for drizzling
1 teaspoon heavy whipping cream
Coarse kosher salt
8 1-inch-thick slices ciabatta bread (about 4 1/2 x 2 inches)
1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
2 tablespoons chopped fresh oregano

Steps:

  • For figs:
  • Place figs in small bowl. Pour 1 cup boiling water over; let soak 45 minutes. Drain figs; place in small saucepan. Add wine and next 3 ingredients; bring to boil, stirring to dissolve sugar. Reduce heat to medium. Simmer until figs are tender and liquid is syrupy, stirring occasionally, about 20 minutes. Add vinegar; cook 1 minute longer. Remove pan from heat; cool.
  • For onion:
  • Melt butter with oil in medium skillet over medium-high heat. Add onion; sauté until beginning to soften and brown, stirring occasionally, about 4 minutes. Reduce heat to low; add vinegar and sugar, then sprinkle with coarse salt and pepper. Stir until vinegar has almost evaporated, about 1 minute. Cool. DO AHEAD: Figs and onion mixture can be made 2 hours ahead. Let stand at room temperature.
  • For ricotta:
  • Whisk ricotta, 1 tablespoon oil, and cream in medium bowl until fluffy. Season with coarse salt and pepper. Preheat broiler. Drizzle ciabatta with some olive oil and sprinkle with coarse salt and pepper. Broil bread on both sides until toasted. Transfer to serving plate. Spread 2 tablespoons ricotta mixture on each bread slice. Spoon glazed figs with some of syrup over; top with onion mixture. Sprinkle with Parmesan and oregano. Drizzle with oil and serve immediately.

I've made this bruschetta several times now, and it's always a hit. It's the perfect balance of sweet, savory, and tangy. The goat cheese adds a nice touch of creaminess, and the balsamic vinegar adds a bit of acidity. Highly recommend!

I followed the recipe exactly, and the bruschetta turned out great. The only thing I would change is to use a bit less balsamic vinegar. I found that it overpowered the other flavors a bit.
