An easy bruschetta recipe with fresh figs, goat cheese, and honey. The honey adds the perfect amount of sweetness to counteract the bitterness of the goat cheese.
I love making bruschetta recipes on the weekend for a quick appetizer.
Bruschetta is typically made with bread, olive oil, salt and pepper, and a tomato-based topping. I decided to switch it up a bit and add some fresh figs and goat cheese instead.
I had never had a fresh fig before. My only experience with figs had been eating fig cookies, and come to find out, the fresh fruit tastes nothing like that. It is very light and a bit sweet.
I also happen to love goat cheese. When these ingredients are combined, it creates a delicious medley that will melt in your mouth. This is truly the perfect snack.
