Ingredients

1 large baguette sliced into 12 rounds
6 oz brie camembert, gouda, aged cheddar, or goat cheese
5 large fresh figs chopped or 10 dried figs, rehydrated
1 tbsp honey balsamic glaze for drizzling
30 leaves mint thyme or rosemary for garnish

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Arrange the baguette slices on a baking sheet.
1 large baguette
Lightly toast the baguette slices in the preheated oven for 5-7 minutes, or until they are golden and crisp. Remove from the oven and let cool slightly.
While the baguette slices are toasting, slice the assorted cheeses into thin pieces. You can mix and match different cheeses according to your preference, ensuring a variety of textures and flavours.
6 oz brie
Once the baguette slices have cooled slightly, top each slice with a piece of cheese. The warmth of the toasted baguette will slightly melt the cheese, creating a luscious base for the figs.
Generously sprinkle the chopped figs over the cheese-covered baguette slices, distributing them evenly to ensure each bite is bursting with fruity flavour.
5 large fresh figs
Finish off each baguette bite by drizzling with a balsamic glaze or honey. The sweetness of the glaze or honey will complement the savoury cheeses and enhance the overall flavour profile.
1 tbsp honey
Garnish the Fig and Cheese Baguette Bites with fresh herbs such as mint, thyme or rosemary for a touch of aromatic freshness. Arrange them on a serving platter and watch as they disappear within moments of being served!
30 leaves mint
