Goat Cheese Crostini With Fig Compote Recipe

Ingredients

1 small baguette (8 ounces), cut on the diagonal into 24 slices 

3 tablespoons olive oil 

1/2 cup chopped dried Mission figs 

1/4 cup light-brown sugar 

1 cup dry red wine 

1/2 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves, plus more for garnish (optional) 

Coarse salt 

5 ounces goat cheese (1 small log) 

Preparation

Heat broiler. Brush both sides of baguette slices with oil; place on a rimmed baking sheet. Broil until golden, 1 to 2 minutes per side; set toasts aside.

In a small saucepan, combine figs, sugar, wine, thyme, and a pinch of salt. Bring to a boil; reduce to a simmer, and cook until thickened, 7 to 9 minutes. Let compote cool to room temperature.

Dividing evenly, spread each toast with goat cheese, and top with compote. Garnish with thyme, if desired.
