Print Recipe

This easy fig and goat cheese crostini is a quick, impressive appetizer featuring sweet figs, creamy goat cheese, and a drizzle of honey on crispy baguette slices. Perfect for entertaining, it comes together in just 10 minutes.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 6–8 fresh figs, sliced
  • 4 oz goat cheese, softened
  • 1 small baguette, sliced into ½-inch rounds
  • 2–3 tablespoons honey
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon fresh thyme (optional)
  • Salt and black pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Slice baguette into ½-inch thick rounds and place in a single layer on the baking sheet.
  3. Lightly brush both sides of each baguette slice with olive oil.
  4. Toast in the oven for 5-7 minutes, flipping halfway through, until lightly golden and crisp.
  5. While bread toasts, wash and slice figs into ¼-inch thick rounds.
  6. Let goat cheese sit at room temperature to soften, then stir with a fork to make it creamy.
  7. Spread a generous layer of goat cheese onto each toasted baguette slice.
  8. Top with 2-3 fig slices, overlapping slightly.
  9. Drizzle honey over each crostini.
  10. Sprinkle with fresh thyme leaves, a pinch of flaky sea salt, and a crack of black pepper. Serve immediately.

Notes

For best results, use room temperature goat cheese for easy spreading. Toast bread just until golden to avoid crumbling. Serve immediately to prevent sogginess. Variations include adding prosciutto, toasted nuts, or balsamic glaze.
