Time 10m

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

Ingredients

1 (1-pound) loaf country bread or 2 baguettes, halved, and sliced crosswise 3/8-inch thick
1 (8.5-ounce) jar good fig spread, such as Dalmatia (see Cook's Note)
8 ounces plain creamy cheese, such as goat cheese, cream cheese, or ricotta
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 ripe fresh figs, halved and thinly sliced lengthwise
Microgreens
Syrupy balsamic vinegar

Steps:

Toast the bread in a toaster and while it is still warm, spread the fig spread on each slice to cover it entirely. Place the cheese in a bowl and heat in the microwave for 30 to 45 seconds, until it's creamy and spreadable. Spread a layer of the cheese on the fig spread, leaving the edges of the fig spread visible. Sprinkle lightly with salt and pepper. Cut each toast crosswise to make appetizers that will be easy to eat. Place a fig slice on each piece, top with a few microgreens, and drizzle lightly with the balsamic vinegar. Serve at room temperature.
