Ingredients

24 slices (1/2 inch thick) baguette French bread (about 8 oz)
3 tablespoons olive oil
8 oz Havarti cheese, cut into 24 slices
6 dried figs, cut lengthwise into quarters

Bake 5 to 6 minutes or until bread is just starting to turn golden brown. Turn slices over; top each with 1 cheese slice. Bake 2 to 3 minutes longer or just until cheese starts to melt.
