Goat Cheese & Apple Bruschetta with Adriatic Fig Spread

The special ingredient of this week's @steemit-ironchef challenge is the Apple 🍎. I will show you how to make a delicious appetizer that you can put together in just a few minutes. This is a Goat Cheese & Apple Bruschetta made with an Adriatic Fig spread. It's tart, sweet and creamy and there's no way you can have just one.

Ingredients

1 Apple
1 French Baguette Loaf
1/2 cup crumbled Goat Cheese
Fresh Thyme
Fig Spread/Preserves
A Dash of Cracked Pepper
A Dash of Oregano

Step 1: Chop The Apple

I used a Honey Crisp Apple, but you can use whatever kind you like.

Step 2: Mince The Thyme

Mince up fresh thyme needles until you have roughly a teaspoon.

Step 3: Crumble the Goat Cheese

I bought goat cheese crumbles, but if you get a log you should break it up into little bits.

Step 4: Mix It All Up

Mix the apple, thyme and goat cheese together in a bowl. Add a dash of oregano and finely ground black pepper.

Step 5: Toast Up The Baguette

Slice some french baguette and broil until lightly toasted.

Step 6: Spread The Fig

I found this Adriatic Fig spread at the store and thought it would fit perfectly. You can use any fig preserves. Lightly coat the tops of each baguette piece.

Step 7: Top With The Mix & Broil

Put a heap of the Apple/Cheese mixture on top of each baguette piece. Pop them back into the oven on broil until the cheese is melted and bubbly.

Step 8: Serve & Enjoy!

Let it cool for a little but serve warm. It's truly a simple and delicious appetizer. I served it alongside more of the Adriatic Fig spread for dipping.

Let me know what you think!
