This Fig Blue Cheese Honey Crostini recipe is the perfect last-minute appetizer or finger food to pull out for a five-star start to any meal. It’s cheesy, sweet, crunchy, fruity and just wonderful paired with oven-warm crostini. Honey adds a sweet finishing touch to the fig and blue cheese, but it’s just as good with a balsamic reduction, or leave even as is with nothing drizzled—either way, all it takes is 5 minutes! 

Why this crostini recipe works:

Guys, this Fig Blue Cheese Honey Crostini recipe is a must-try.  It’s super quick to make and therefore simply perfect for when you really only have a few minutes to whip up something you can serve to guests as a starter!

How to make this Fig Blue Cheese Honey Crostini recipe:

The recipe for these Fig Blue Cheese Honey Crostini starts off with crunchy baguette slices that have been drizzled with just a bit of olive oil and crisped up in the oven for 10 minutes at 375 degrees.

That way, the Fig Blue Cheese Honey Crostini is very crisp. Feel free to use a regular fresh baguette. Once baked, it will have a rather delicate crunch in the middle and a harder crunch only on the edges.  You really want that nice crunch when going for a softer cheese fruit combo like blue cheese and figs.

Sprinkle a few basil pieces at the top of each crispy baguette slice and arrange thinly sliced pieces of figs on top. Crumble some blue cheese over the figs (more or less to your taste) and repeat with the remaining baguette slices.

Now, place your Fig Blue Cheese Honey Crostini on a parchment-lined baking sheet and bake for 3-5 minutes just until the cheese starts to melt and the figs are slightly softened.

The final honey drizzle is the best part of this Fig Blue Cheese Honey Crostini recipe. Even though I love adding this finishing touch to these easy crostini, I always serve the honey on the side, because some people might not like their Fig Blue Cheese Crostini that sweet.

Honey is a sweet favorite and time saver, but a sweet balsamic reduction is another great option for these Fig Blue Cheese Crostini.

The best way to make a balsamic reduction is to boil 1 cup of your favourite balsamic vinegar (flavored types work beautifully too) on medium heat for about 10 minutes. The vinegar-ish taste completely evaporates and the mixture becomes thicker and more of a syrup.

Note that balsamic reduction keeps thickening as it cools down, and it will taste like the sweet part of the balsamic vinegar, without any acidic taste, just concentrated sweet goodness!

However you prefer your crunch or drizzle, and even, however, you prefer your fruit and cheeses, this Fig Blue Cheese Honey Crostini recipe is a must try and a last-minute saver recipe—so enjoy!:)

Tips for success:

  • This Fig Blue Cheese Honey Crostini recipe can be made in many variations! Use some peaches, apples, pears, apricots or strawberries instead of the figs, and use any type of cheese you have on hand. Brie, feta, goat cheese, or just about any. I sprinkled a little bit of chopped basil on my Crostini, but any herb would work too.
  • As a finishing touch, drizzle these Fig Blue Cheese Crostini with honey or balsamic reduction.
  • For a gluten-free appetizer, choose homemade gluten-free bread!
