Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 400°F.
- Wash the figs and remove the tough stem. Cut them in half and place in a small baking dish.
- Toss the figs with the balsamic vinegar (or orange liqueur), the thyme and the lemon zest. Turn the figs so they are all cut-side-down on the baking dish. They should fit in a single layer.
- Roast the figs for about 20 minutes and remove them from the oven. They should still have some juices at this point. Let them cool.
- While the figs are roasting, prepare the Feta spread: place the Feta, Greek yogurt, vinegar, salt and pepper in a small food processor and process until fairly smooth.
- Add the extra virgin olive oil in a slow, steady stream while continuing to pulse (you may need more or less olive oil, depending on the consistency you desire). Taste and adjust the seasoning. Refrigerate or use right away.
- Assemble the toasts by slathering a layer of the Feta spread over the toasted bread, top with two or three fig halves (depending on the size of the toast), drizzle with the pan juices and some extra honey (to taste), and sprinkle with fresh thyme, lemon zest, and some sesame seeds (optional).

[email protected]I followed the recipe exactly and it didn't turn out well. The figs were too soft and the feta was too salty.
