Sometimes simple things are the best, like on a Tuesday evening when you’re having your old housemate over for dinner. It doesn’t have to be fancy, just plain nice and tasty. That is when you make a chèvretoast. There isn’t much cooking involved, but the result is still really nice.

Chèvretoast with figs, serves 2
2 slices of nice bread
2, 1 cm thick slices of chèvre
2 figs, quartered
olive oil
1 clove of garlic
black pepper
crema di balsamico
Put the bread slices on a baking sheet and pour a little olive oil on each. Cut the garlic clove in half and rub the edge against the bread and the oil. Toast the bread in 200C until it is crispy. Place the chèvre on top of the bread slices, and place the quartered figs on top. Sprinkle over some black pepper and bake for 5-10 minutes until the cheese is soft. Plate, coil over some crema di balsamico and enjoy!
O, I love fresh figs, that is a shame they are quite expensive. Goats’ cheese is perfect for figs. 🙂 Your bread looks very nice – is it a sourdough bread?
Yes, it is the french bread Poilane that you find in Waitrose. It is quite expensive bug really nice!
