Toast the crostini

Preheat your oven to 375°F. Arrange baguette slices on a baking sheet, brush with olive oil, and bake for 5-7 minutes until golden and crisp.

Prepare the goat cheese

While the bread toasts, let the goat cheese come to room temperature for easy spreading.

3

Assemble

Spread a generous layer of goat cheese on each crostini. Top with a spoonful of Fig Preserves.

Finish

Drizzle with honey, sprinkle with fresh thyme leaves and flaky sea salt. Add crushed walnuts if desired.

Arrange on a serving platter and serve immediately while the crostini are still crisp.

Chef's Tips

  • The combination of sweet fig and tangy goat cheese is unbeatable
  • For a party, set up a crostini bar and let guests assemble their own
  • Try adding prosciutto for a savory twist
