Ingredients
-
1 French baguette
-
1/4 cup unsalted butter
-
1/4 cup olive oil
-
1/2 cup goat cheese crumbles
-
1/2 cup fig spread or preserves
-
2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar glaze
Preparation
-
Preheat the oven to 375° F. Slice the baguette into 24 slices, 1/2-inch each.
-
To make the crostini melt the butter; stir in the olive oil. Brush both sides of each bread slice with the butter mixture and place on a baking sheet.
-
Bake the crostini’s for 5-7 minutes. Turn slices over and bake 5 minutes longer or until crisp and golden brown.
-
Spread 1 teaspoon of fig spread on each crostini. Sprinkle 1 teaspoon goat cheese crumbles on top. After all the crostini are assembled drizzle with balsamic vinegar glaze.
Helpful hints
- Use fig butter, fig spread, fig preserves or dried or fresh figs.
- Soft goat cheese can be used instead of goat cheese crumbles. Spread it on the crostini then add the fig preserves and balsamic vinegar glaze.
- If balsamic vinegar glaze is unavailable you can heat and reduce aged Italian balsamic vinegar by one half to make glaze.
