Ingredients

• 240 g Country bread ( sliced )
• 200 g Log-shaped goat cheese ( sliced )
• 4 piece Fig ( quartered )
• 2 tbsp Honey
• 2 tbsp Extra virgin olive oil
• 4 piece Thyme ( leaves only )
• 1 pinch Fleur de sel
• 1 pinch Black pepper ground

Instructions

1. Bread preparation

   Slice the country bread. Brush both sides with olive oil. Place under the oven grill until the center is golden and the edges are dry.

2. Garnish slicing

   Cut the goat cheese log into even rounds. Slice the fresh figs into quarters or thick slices depending on their size.

3. Assembly and quick bake

   Place a cheese round on each toast. Top with a fig slice. Bake for 2 minutes in a hot oven: the cheese should start to soften without completely running off.

4. Finishing touches

   Once out of the oven, drizzle honey over the canapés. Sprinkle with fresh thyme, a pinch of sea salt, and freshly ground black pepper.

Chef's tips

• Use ripe but firm figs so they hold their shape during baking.
• Keep the goat cheese very cold when slicing to get clean, sharp rounds.
• Don't over-toast the bread initially, as the second bake with the cheese could burn it.

Storage

Consume immediately. The bread will soften quickly once in contact with the cheese and honey.
