- 1 cup fresh figs, sliced
- 2 tbsp honey
- 1 tbsp fresh thyme leaves
- Olive oil for drizzling

- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Get that oven all warmed up and ready to meet the deliciousness!
- Arrange the sliced baguette on a baking sheet. Brush each slice with a little olive oil—because, let’s face it, who doesn’t love that golden goodness?
- Pop the baking sheet into the oven and toast the bread for about 8-10 minutes, or until it’s just golden brown and calling your name.
- While the bread is doing its toasty thing, mix the softened goat cheese with salt, pepper, and fresh thyme in a bowl. This mixture should be smoother than your dance moves at a wedding!
- Once the baguette slices are toasted and still a little warm, spread the creamy goat cheese mixture like you mean it!
- Now it’s time for the figs—place those beautiful slices right on top of the goat cheese. They’ll be the diva of this dish!
- Drizzle honey over each crostini. This is where the sweet magic happens!
- For the final touch, sprinkle a tiny pinch of fresh thyme leaves on top for that fancy chef vibe.
- Serve immediately and watch as your friends swoon over your culinary skills. Enjoy!
