Fig and Goat Cheese Crostini with Honey

These Fig and Goat Cheese Crostini with Honey are one of my favorite simple summer appetizers.  Using fresh figs, goat cheese, honey and pepper, these are an easy but elegant starter or snack.

I am so excited to share this recipe with you today!  This Fig and Goat Cheese Crostini with Honey is one of my favorite things to make when the fleeting fig season hits.  You may remember I made something similar last winter, my Fig, Goat Cheese and Prosciutto Bruschetta, which is a great alternative when figs aren’t in season. I have learned over the years that when I see figs in the store, I buy them.  It doesn’t matter what I was planning on making for dinner, I buy the figs and I use them ASAP.  Because I have learned that if you pass figs up when you see them, you might completely miss the chance to get your hands on fresh figs until the next year.  In fact that happened to me last year!  And I vowed, Never Again.

I started making this easy appetizer a few years ago, and there have been more than a few nights where a tray of this Fig and Goat Cheese Crostini with Honey was dinner – along with some crisp, cold wine, of course.  These are so easy to make, but also seem special and elegant.  There is something about figs that just make everything seem fancy.  I was so inspired while I was photographing this recipe, I could not stop taking pictures of them!  You may have noticed that if you follow me on instagram or snapchat.  But figs are just so beautiful, and I think there is something about them being so hard to find that makes them especially alluring.

To make these Fig and Goat Cheese Crostini with Honey, you only need a few ingredients. I added pepper to these to give them a little kick.  It might seem weird, but it is just a sprinkle, so they aren’t really spicy, it just adds a little something extra.  Try it, you might be surprised!  A good french baguette, creamy goat cheese, fresh figs, of course, and a drizzle of sweet honey.  Pop them under the broiler for a few minutes, and you have an elegant summer appetizer that everyone will love!  Or you can just eat them all yourself, I won’t judge.

I was so inspired while doing this photo shoot that I took a million photos.  I tried to whittle them down, but I couldn’t just eliminate all of them!  So if you aren’t into the photos, just scroll down to the recipe and get figgy.  Otherwise, here are some of my favorite photos.

Fig and Goat Cheese Crostini with Honey are an easy and elegant appetizer featuring fresh figs!

Now please excuse me, I will be eating these Fig and Goat Cheese Crostini with Honey and drinking Rosé for the rest of the summer.
