Fig & Goat Cheese Toasts

Appetizers & Snacks, Snack
Creamy, tangy goat cheese spread on toasted bread, topped with sweet, figs and crunchy toasted walnuts. Each bite gives you crispy bread, smooth cheese, soft fruit, and nutty texture all at once. Sweet and savory balanced perfectly, rich but not heavy, the kind of simple combination that just works. This recipe captures a bit of French countryside comfort.

Ingredients 

  • 8 slices sourdough bread or pain de campagne
  • 150 gr goat’s cheese
  • 4 figs
  • 1 handful walnuts
  • 2 tbsp honey
  • 2 sprigs thyme fresh, optional
  • olive oil
  • salt and black pepper

Equipment

Instructions

  1. 1. Toast the bread
    Preheat your oven grill or set your grill to high. Arrange the slices of bread on a baking tray, drizzle lightly with olive oil, and grill for 2–3 minutes on each side until golden and slightly crisp.
  2. 2. Assemble the toasts
    Spread each slice generously with goat’s cheese while the bread is still warm. Top with slices or pieces of fresh fig, then scatter over the walnuts.
  3. 3. Finish and serve
    Drizzle a little honey over each toast. Season with a touch of salt and pepper, and if you like, sprinkle with fresh thyme leaves. Serve immediately while everything is still just slightly warm.

Notes

  • Swap in toasted pecans or almonds if you don’t have walnuts. For extra indulgence, drizzle with a little balsamic glaze as well as honey.
