Time 8h35m

Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 cup finely chopped dried figs
½ cup cider vinegar
¼ cup brown sugar
¼ cup minced white onion
½ teaspoon ground ginger
1 pinch garlic powder
1 pinch cayenne pepper
1 pinch ground cloves
1 pinch ground cinnamon
1 (8 ounce) loaf French bread, cut into 1-inch slices
olive oil cooking spray
1 (8 ounce) round Brie cheese, cut into bite-size pieces
1 Granny Smith apple, cut into matchstick-size pieces
1 tablespoon oregano

Steps:

  • Combine figs, vinegar, brown sugar, onion, ginger, garlic powder, cayenne pepper, cloves, and cinnamon in a saucepan; simmer over low heat, stirring occasionally, until fig spread is reduced, about 30 minutes. Transfer fig spread to a bowl, cover with plastic wrap, and refrigerate, 8 hours to overnight.
  • Set oven rack about 6 inches from the heat source and preheat the oven's broiler.
  • Arrange bread slices on a baking sheet. Lightly spray both sides of each bread slice with olive oil cooking spray.
  • Bake bread slices under the broiler until toasted, about 2 minutes per side. Remove bread from oven and cool slightly, keeping broiler on.
  • Blend fig spread in a blender or food processor until pureed. Spread about 1 teaspoon fig spread onto each toasted bread slice; top with Brie cheese and apple pieces. Sprinkle each crostini with oregano.
  • Broil crostini in the preheated oven until Brie cheese is melted and browned, 1 to 2 minutes.

Tips:

  • Choose ripe, plump figs for the best flavor.
  • If you don't have fresh figs, you can use dried figs. Just be sure to soak them in warm water for 30 minutes before using.
  • Use a good quality brie cheese. Brie de Meaux or Brie de Melun are both excellent choices.
  • Slice the brie cheese thinly so that it melts easily.
  • Use a baguette that is at least 1 day old. This will help prevent the crostini from becoming soggy.
  • Brush the baguette slices with olive oil before baking. This will help them crisp up in the oven.
  • Bake the crostini until they are golden brown and crispy.
  • Top the crostini with the brie cheese, figs, and honey. Enjoy!
