Fig and Brie Bruschetta with Honey
Equipment
- Baking sheet or oven-safe tray
- Sharp knife and cutting board
- Small saucepan (if warming the honey)
- Oven or toaster oven
- Optional grill pan if you want a toasted, smoky finish
Ingredients
- 1 French baguette sliced into ½-inch rounds
- 6 oz Brie cheese rind removed if preferred, cut into thin slices
- 6 –8 fresh figs sliced (or use fig preserves if out of season)
- 2 tbsp honey plus more for drizzling
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- Fresh thyme leaves for garnish
- Pinch of sea salt optional, enhances flavor contrast
Instructions
Preheat your oven
- to 375°F (190°C).
Prepare the baguette slices
- by brushing each one lightly with olive oil. Place them on a baking sheet.
Toast the bread
- for about 6–8 minutes or until lightly golden and crisp on the edges.
Top each slice
- with a slice of Brie cheese while the bread is still warm. It’ll start to melt slightly—that’s the magic.
Add fresh fig slices
- or a dollop of fig preserves on top of the Brie.
Drizzle with honey
- and sprinkle with thyme leaves. Add a tiny pinch of sea salt if desired to balance the sweetness.
Serve warm or at room temperature
- Optional: add another light drizzle of honey right before serving for an extra glossy finish.
