Time 30m

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 crusty long French baguette (*fresh is best)
3 ounces goat cheese
3 ounces fig jam
1 medium yellow onion
olive oil ((or butter))
thyme leaves for garnish (*optional)

Steps:

  • Peel and slice onion as thinly as you can. Use a mandolin slicer if you have.
  • Add about 3 tablespoons of olive oil to a pan set over medium-low heat and toss in your sliced onion. Toss to coat. If the pan looks dry, add another tablespoon of oil. Stir your onions every 10 minutes or so for 20-30 minutes.The longest part of this recipe revolves around our onions. We need to slowly simmer them in order to caramelize them properly. This will help to release the sugars in the onion making them much sweeter! Don't rush this by turning up the heat or your onion will burn.
  • While your onions are caramelizing, we can prepare our crostini. Slice the baguette into ¼" slices. Brush olive oil lightly over each slice and bake in the oven at 450°F for about 8 minutes or unti golden brown and crispy.
  • Once your onions are cooled and crostini is ready, it's time to assemble!
  • Spread goat cheese evenly over each crostini followed by some of the caramelized onions and finally, a dollop of fig jam. Garnish with thyme leaves if desired. *Serve within 2 hours to optimal crunchiness.

Yield Makes 24 hors d'oeuvres

Number Of Ingredients 13

3 tablespoons minced shallot
2 (3-inch) fresh thyme sprigs plus 1/2 teaspoon minced fresh thyme
1/2 Turkish or 1/4 California bay leaf
1 1/2 tablespoons unsalted butter
1/4 lb dried Black Mission figs, finely chopped (3/4 cup)
3/4 cup Port
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon black pepper
12 (1/2-inch-thick) diagonally cut baguette slices
1 tablespoon olive oil
6 oz soft mild goat cheese at room temperature
2 fresh ripe figs, cut into 1/2-inch pieces
Garnish: fresh thyme leaves

Steps:

  • Make savory fig jam:
  • Cook shallot, thyme sprigs, and bay leaf in butter in a 1- to 1 1/2-quart heavy saucepan over moderately low heat, stirring, until shallot is softened, about 2 minutes. Add dried figs, Port, salt, and pepper and bring to a boil. Simmer, covered, until figs are soft, about 10 minutes. If there is still liquid in saucepan, remove lid and simmer, stirring, until most of liquid is evaporated, 3 to 4 minutes more. Discard bay leaf and thyme sprigs and transfer jam to a bowl. Cool, then stir in minced thyme and salt and pepper to taste.
  • Make toasts while jam cools:
  • Put oven rack in middle position and preheat to 350°F.
  • Halve each baguette slice diagonally, then arrange on a baking sheet and brush tops lightly with oil. Bake until lightly toasted, about 7 minutes. Cool on baking sheet on a rack.
  • Assemble crostini:
  • Spread each toast with 1 teaspoon fig jam and top with about 1 1/2 teaspoons goat cheese and 2 pieces fresh fig.

Tips:

  • Choose ripe figs: Use fresh, ripe figs for the best flavor. Look for figs that are plump and slightly soft to the touch.
  • Use a good quality goat cheese: The goat cheese should be creamy and flavorful. Avoid using a goat cheese that is too dry or crumbly.
  • Toast the crostini until golden brown: This will help them to be crispy and flavorful. You can toast the crostini in the oven or in a toaster.
  • Spread the fig jam on the crostini while they are still warm: This will help the jam to melt and spread easily.
  • Top the crostini with goat cheese and a drizzle of honey: This will add a creamy and sweet flavor to the crostini.
  • Serve the crostini immediately: Crostini are best served fresh, so enjoy them as soon as they are made.

Conclusion:

Fig jam and goat cheese crostini are a delicious and easy appetizer that is perfect for any occasion. They are made with just a few simple ingredients and can be assembled in minutes. The sweet and tangy flavor of the fig jam pairs perfectly with the creamy and tangy flavor of the goat cheese. These crostini are sure to be a hit at your next party or gathering.
