Fridge:
8oz goat cheese, room temp (log is easiest)
1 1/2 cups baby arugula, washed and dried
Counter:
8-10 ripe figs, thinly sliced
15-20 slices of French bread
1 garlic clove
Pantry:
3-4 tbs olive oil
3-4 tbs balsamic glaze
1/2 tsp salt
Fresh cracked pepper to taste
Tools:
Cutting board
Serrated knife to cut bread/figs
Butter knife
Baking tray
Serving tray
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Lay the sliced French bread flat on the cutting board. Drizzle all the pieces with olive oil. Using the garlic clove, rub the olive oil all over the bread slices. Sprinkle with salt and black pepper. Put on the baking tray and into the oven for 8-10 minutes or until the crostinis are slightly golden. Remove from oven and allow to cool.
Once cooled, use the butter knife to spread the toasts with goat cheese. Then place a couple pieces of arugula into the goat cheese. Top the crostinis with one to two fig slices depending on the bread size. Once the crostinis are made- place on your serving tray and then drizzle the balsamic glaze over all of them.
Serve at room temperature. You can make these a few hours ahead and cover and refrigerate as well. Just make sure to remove 30 minutes before serving to take the chill off.
