Time 40m

Yield Makes 24

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 small baguette (8 ounces), cut on the diagonal into 24 slices
3 tablespoons olive oil
1/2 cup chopped dried Mission figs
1/4 cup light-brown sugar
1 cup dry red wine
1/2 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves, plus more for garnish (optional)
Coarse salt
5 ounces goat cheese (1 small log)

Steps:

  • Heat broiler. Brush both sides of baguette slices with oil; place on a rimmed baking sheet. Broil until golden, 1 to 2 minutes per side; set toasts aside.
  • In a small saucepan, combine figs, sugar, wine, thyme, and a pinch of salt. Bring to a boil; reduce to a simmer, and cook until thickened, 7 to 9 minutes. Let compote cool to room temperature.
  • Dividing evenly, spread each toast with goat cheese, and top with compote. Garnish with thyme, if desired.

I love the combination of flavors in this dish. The goat cheese is tangy, the figs are sweet, and the crostini are crunchy.

I had some trouble finding fresh figs, so I used dried figs instead. They worked just as well!

The fig compote was a bit too sweet for my taste, but otherwise this recipe was delicious.
