Marinated Fig and Goat Cheese Crostini

Ingredients
8 ounces goat cheese, at room temperature
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1/2 teaspoon honey
2 tablespoons minced fresh tarragon
2 tablespoons minced shallots
Zest and juice of 1 lemon, divided
Kosher salt and freshly cracked black pepper
8 fresh figs, diced or sliced in rings
1 teaspoon saba vinegar (see Cook's Note)
8 toasted crostini
Directions:
In a medium bowl, combine the goat cheese, olive oil, honey and half of the tarragon, shallots and lemon zest. Season with salt and pepper.

In a separate bowl, toss the figs with the lemon juice, saba vinegar and remaining tarragon, shallots and lemon zest. Season with salt and pepper.

Spread the goat cheese mixture on the crostini, then top with the figs.
