Fig And Cheese Toasts

Fig and Cheese Toasts

Ingredients:

1 (1 pound loaf country bread, halved and sliced crosswise 3/8 inch thick

1 8.5 ounce jar good fig spread, like Dalmatia

8 oz. cramy cheese i.e. goat cheese or cream cheese

Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper

2 ripe figs, halved and thinly sliced lengthwise

Microgreens

Syrupy balsamic vinegar

Directions:

Toast the bread in a toaster and while still warm, spread the fig spread on each slice to cover it entirely.  Place the cheese in the microwave for 30 to 45 seconds until it is creamy and spreadable.  Spread a layer of cheese on the fig spread, leaving the edges of the fig spread visible.  Sprinkle lightly with salt and pepper.  Cut the toast crosswise to make appetizers that will be easy to eat.  Lightly drizzle each piece with a drizzle of balsamic vinegar, and top with a few micro greens.  Serve at room temperature.
