In Season: Figs!


We have a little fig tree in the backyard and and the past few days it has just EXPLODED with ripe fruit. I picked a bunch of figs yesterday and wanted to do something with them for lunch. I didn't have all the ingredients for Bon Appétit's Grilled Bruschetta with Teleme, Honey, and Figs (a great recipe that I've had a few times before) so I made this quicker version. Hope you enjoy!

Ingredients:
Ripe figs
Baguette slices
Soft cheese (I used a strong goat brie and a mild cow brie)
Honey
Black pepper
Olive Oil

Directions:

Brush baguette slices with olive oil and place on grill pan* olive oil side down. Grill until nicely toasted. Flip bread and top with cheese. Once the cheese has melted a little, take the toasts off the grill and top each with one fig slice. Drizzle with honey and sprinkle with black pepper. Serve warm.

*If you don't have a grill pan, you can easily make this on the barbecue (as the Bon Appétit recipe suggests!), in a regular pan, or in the oven (use the broiler).
