Ingredients
  

12 fresh figs, quartered

1/4 cup balsamic vinegar

1 tablespoon honey

1 tablespoon olive oil

1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves

8 oz goat cheese, softened

1 baguette, sliced into 1/2-inch rounds

Salt and pepper to taste

Fresh arugula for garnish (optional)

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

    Prepare the Figs: In a medium bowl, combine the quartered figs, balsamic vinegar, honey, olive oil, fresh thyme, salt, and pepper. Gently toss to combine, ensuring the figs are well coated.

      Roast the Figs: Spread the fig mixture onto a baking sheet in a single layer. Roast in the preheated oven for about 15-20 minutes, or until the figs are soft and caramelized. Stir halfway through for even roasting.

        Toast the Baguette: While the figs are roasting, arrange the baguette slices on a separate baking sheet. Brush them lightly with olive oil and season with a pinch of salt. Bake in the oven for about 8-10 minutes or until golden and crisp.

          Assemble the Crostinis: Remove the figs from the oven and let them cool slightly. Spread a generous layer of softened goat cheese on each toasted baguette slice. Top with the roasted figs and a drizzle of the balsamic reduction left on the baking sheet.

            Garnish and Serve: If desired, add a few fresh arugula leaves on top for a peppery bite and extra color. Serve immediately and enjoy the delightful contrast of sweet figs with tangy goat cheese!
