Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup balsamic vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • CROSTINI:
  • 24 slices French bread baguette (1/2 inch thick)
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • CRANBERRY-FIG TOPPING:
  • 1/2 cup coarsely dried cranberries
  • 1/3 cup coarsely chopped dried figs
  • 1/3 cup coarsely chopped unblanched almonds
  • 1/3 cup coarsely chopped pitted Greek olives
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 2 teaspoons balsamic vinegar
  • 1/8 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
  • CHEESE SPREAD:
  • 2 logs (4 ounces each) spreadable goat cheese
  • 1 teaspoon grated lemon peel

Directions

  • In a small saucepan, combine vinegar and honey. Bring to a boil; reduce heat and simmer until mixture is reduced by half, about 5 minutes. Set aside to cool.
  • Lightly brush both sides of baguette slices with oil; place on an ungreased baking sheet. Broil 3-4 in. from the heat 1-2 minutes on each side or until golden brown. Set aside.
  • In a small bowl, combine the topping ingredients; toss to coat. In another bowl, beat the goat cheese, lemon peel and pepper until blended.
