Ingredients

  • 1 baguette sliced into (24) 1/2” slices

Using a lightly greased sheet tray, lay out the sliced baguette pieces and drizzle with olive oil or butter. Evenly sprinkle salt over the top.

Bake for 5-7 minutes until slightly browned around the edges.

Remove sheet tray from oven and spoon goat cheese mixture evenly over the top of the baguette slices.

Using a small spoon, place a dollop of fig jam over the top followed by a sprinkle of Touchstone pistachios.
