FIG JAM AND GOAT CHEESE CROSTINI

Flavors of fall 'sage and figs' pair up with tangy goat cheese for an elegant appetizer that's a perfect pairing for a glass of bubbly. The toasts can be made up to a day ahead and stored at room temperature in an airtight container. The sage can also be prepared a day ahead, loosely wrapped in a paper towel, and stored in an airtight container. Fig jam can be purchased at high-end grocery stores. Quince jam, a.k.a. membrillo, would also be delicious here. Taken from CHOW.com

1 baguette
1/3 cup olive oil
salt, to taste
20 sage leaves
4 ounces goat cheese
1/3 cup fig jam

Steps:

  • Heat the oven to 400°F

  • Immediately remove the leaves with tongs or a slotted spoon and transfer to the paper-towel-lined plate.
  • Repeat with remaining sage leaves; set aside.
  • Gently spread 1 teaspoon of the goat cheese on each crostini, top with a heaping 1/2 teaspoon of the fig jam, and garnish with a fried sage leaf.
