London is an AMAZING city for artisan cheese. On a recent trip to Borough Market<\/a>, one of my absolute favorite places to buy produce, olives, bread, and of course cheese, I picked up a delicious double cream cow\u2019s milk French cheese. The French man running the stand tried to sell me a goat, however he did not tell me the name of the cheese I bought! After a bit of Internet researching, my best guess is that it was Fromage d\u2019Affinois. It is a very soft, tangy, Brie like cheese. Easily spread and melted, but with an almost liquid texture and infinitely better tasting rind than Brie.\"cheese\"<\/a><\/p>\n

What better to go with a powerful and slightly sharp cheese than sweet juicy figs??!! My favorite pizza is fig and goat\u2019s cheese pizza, so these crostinis are inspired by that creation. This recipe is a super quick and easy appetizer to have in your wheelhouse.<\/p>\n

\"cutfigandcheese\"<\/a>Prep time:<\/strong> 10 minutes
\nCook time:<\/strong> 5 minutes
\nServings:<\/strong> 6-8<\/p>\n

Ingredients:<\/strong>
\nButter<\/strong>
\nGrated c<\/strong>heddar cheese<\/strong>
\n5 fresh figs<\/strong>
\nA soft cheese<\/strong> (camembert, brie, goat\u2019s cheese, etc)
\nFresh bread<\/strong>, sliced \u00bc inch thick<\/p>\n

Directions:<\/strong>
\n1. Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Lay out however many slices of bread you would like to make. I made 8 for this recipe.<\/p>\n

2. Spread a very thin bit of butter on the bread slices.<\/p>\n

3. Lay a very thin layer of grated cheddar cheese on top next.<\/p>\n

4. Chop the figs into bite size pieces. Slices would work as well if you feel so inclined.<\/p>\n

5. Add as much or as little of the soft cheese as your heart desires<\/p>\n

6. Pop in the oven for 5 minutes just until the cheese has melted and the crust of the bread starts to get crispy.<\/p>\n

Enjoy immediately, these won\u2019t last long!<\/p>\n
