Ingredients
- 1 bake-at-home baguette
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 145g fresh pesto
- 100g goat’s cheese
- 3 large figs, cut into eighths
- drizzle of honey
- basil leaves, to serve (optional)
Method
- STEP 1
Heat the oven to 200C/180C fan/ gas 6. Slice the baguette diagonally into 24 pieces, around 3/4cm thick, and arrange on a baking sheet. Drizzle with the olive oil, then bake for 10 mins until lightly golden.
- STEP 2
Spread a little pesto on each baguette slice, then top with a piece each of goat’s cheese and fig. Drizzle a drop or two of honey over each piece of fig, or to taste, then return to the oven for a further 8 mins until the cheese is golden at the edges and the fig has softened a little.
- STEP 3
Season with freshly ground black pepper and scatter over the basil leaves, if using. Serve straightaway.
