Ingredients

  • 1 baguette thinly sliced on an angle , each slice drizzled with a tiny bit of olive oil and crisped up in the oven at 375 degrees F. for 10 minutes.

  • 1/2 cup crumbled blue cheese
  • 1 tablespoon minced fresh basil

  3. Crumble a few pieces of cheese over the figs (more or less to your taste). Repeat with the remaining baguette slices and place on a parchment-lined baking sheet.

Recipe Notes

  • 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!
