Fig & Goat Cheese Crostini Ingredients: 1 long baguette 2 tbsp olive oil 5 oz soft goat cheese (with honey, if available) 1/4 cup fig jam or fig butter 2 tbsp honey (or to taste) 10 fresh mint leaves Directions: Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Slice the baguette diagonally into 1/2-inch slices to maximize space for toppings. Arrange the baguette slices on a baking sheet and brush or drizzle olive oil on one side of each slice. Bake for 5-8 minutes, or until the edges are golden and slightly crisp, while the center remains soft. If needed, whip the goat cheese in a stand mixer or with a hand mixer until smooth and creamy. If your goat cheese doesnt contain honey, add 2 tbsp of honey and mix until well blended. Spread approximately 1 tbsp of whipped goat cheese onto each baguette slice. Top each with about 1 tbsp of fig jam. Arrange the crostini close together on a serving platter and drizzle honey generously over the top (about 2 tbsp or adjust to taste). Slice the mint leaves into thin strips and scatter over the fig jam for a fresh, vibrant flavor.
