Step 1

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (180 degrees C).

Step 2

Take the Baguette (1) and slice it into little 1/2 inch slices to make the crostini.

Step 3

Transfer the slices of bread to a baking sheet fitted with a rack and brush each one generously with the Butter (1/4 cup) .

Step 4

Get the baking sheet into the oven to let the bread get nice and toasted for about 10 minutes.

Step 5

Meanwhile, make the balsamic reduction. In a small pot, bring the Balsamic Vinegar (1/2 cup) to a gentle boil over medium heat on the stove. Let it reduce by half into a thicker syrup. Take it off of the heat and set it aside.

Step 6

Take the crostini out of the oven and let them cool a minute. Then scoop a tablespoon of the Goat Cheese (2 cups) onto each slice of toast and smooth each scoop out.

Step 7

Dollop a half tablespoon of the Fig Butter (1 jar) onto each crostini on top of the goat cheese and spread it out a little.

Step 8

Finally, drizzle a generous amount of the balsamic reduction on top of each of the crostini.

Step 9

Serve them immediately for a perfect party bite!
