I had a lot of leftover fig pasted from the
Fig Crumbles I made last week, and I definitely wasn't going to let it go to waste. One use I found for it were these easy fig and goat cheese crostinis, which make for an easy appetizer. Usually when I make these, I use a fig compote made of chopped dry figs (1/2 cup), red wine (3/4 cup), granulated sugar or brown sugar (2 Tablespoons) , and a couple pinches of thyme, but I figured the fig paste was a good substitute since I had it on hand.
Ingredients (choose how much you need based on how many you would like to make/serve)
Baguette
Log of Goat Cheese
Fig Compote or Fig Paste
Olive Oil
Directions
Slice baguette and brush both sides with olive oil. Toast bread on a grill pan over medium high heat (2-3 minutes each side) or for bake about 6-8 minutes at 400 degrees in the oven, turning half way through.
Once baguette slices are toasted, smear goat cheese onto crostini and top with fig compote or fig paste.
