Ingredients
  

  • 4 oz. goat cheese softened to room temperature
  • 8 oz. fresh figs stems trimmed and cut into quarters
  • ¼ cup shelled pistachios toasted
  • 1 French baguette sliced into ¼-inch rounds
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • Balsamic vinegar or honey for drizzling
  • Sea salt to taste
  • Freshly ground black pepper to taste

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Arrange as many baguette slices as possible on a rimmed quarter sheet pan. Drizzle each slice with olive oil and sprinkle lightly with salt.
  2. Bake the bread slices for 5 to 7 minutes, or until they are crisp and lightly golden around the edges. Remove from the oven and allow them to cool for about 10 minutes before assembling.
  3. Once cooled, spread a generous layer—about 1 tablespoon—of goat cheese on each crostini, ensuring most of the surface is covered for a rich base.
  4. Top the cheese with fresh fig quarters, gently pressing them into the cheese to help them stay in place.
  5. Finish each crostini with a scattering of toasted pistachios, then lightly season with sea salt and freshly ground black pepper. Just before serving, drizzle with either balsamic vinegar or honey—or a bit of both for a sweet and tangy contrast.
  6. Serve immediately while the crostini are crisp and the flavors vibrant.
