SpicenEasy's Gourmet Fig & Goat's Cheese Crostini

• Prep Time: 10 minutes

• Cook Time: 5 minutes

• Serves: 6-8 (as an appetizer)

Ingredients:

• 8-10 SpicenEasy Dried Figs, stems removed, sliced into rounds

• 1 baguette, sliced into ½-inch thick rounds

• 150g soft goat's cheese (chèvre)

• 2 tbsp honey, plus extra for drizzling

• 1 tbsp fresh thyme leaves, plus extra for garnish

• 2 tbsp balsamic glaze

• Olive oil for brushing

• Salt and freshly cracked black pepper

• Optional: Toasted walnuts for crunch

Instructions:

1. Prepare Bread: Preheat oven grill to medium-high. Brush both sides of the baguette slices lightly with olive oil and place on a baking tray. Grill for 1-2 minutes per side until golden and crisp. Watch carefully to avoid burning.

2. Prepare Fig & Goat's Cheese Spread: In a bowl, combine the goat's cheese, 2 tablespoons of honey, and fresh thyme leaves. Mix until smooth and spreadable. Season with a pinch of black pepper.

3. Assemble: Spread a generous layer of the honeyed goat's cheese onto each crostini. Top with 2-3 slices of SpicenEasy Dried Fig.

4. Garnish & Serve: Drizzle with balsamic glaze and a little extra honey. Sprinkle with additional thyme leaves and a crack of black pepper. Serve immediately.

Chef's Tip: *If your dried figs are a little firm, steam them for 2-3 minutes to soften and plump them up, making them easier to slice and even more luxurious to eat. For a flavour explosion, add a few crushed toasted walnuts on top. These crostini are best assembled just before serving to keep the bread crisp.*
