Ingredients
  

  • ¼ cup Dried Black Figs ~10–12, halved
  • ¼ cup Goat Cheese softened
  • 2 slices Toast sourdough or rustic bread
  • Olive Oil as needed
  • 1 tablespoon Parsley finely chopped
  • ¼ cup Candied Walnuts roughly chopped
  • 3 tablespoon Bona Furtuna Aged Balsamic
  • Bona Furtuna 12-Year Aged Balsamic for drizzling
  • Bona Furtuna 24-Year Aged Balsamic to finish

Equipment

  • Small saucepan
  • Baking Sheet
  • Offset Spatula

Method
 

  1. Add dried figs and 3 tablespoon Bona Furtuna Aged Balsamic to a small saucepan.
  2. Simmer over medium-low heat until the balsamic is absorbed and the figs are plump, about 5-7 minutes. Set aside.
Toast the Bread
  1. Preheat oven or toaster to 400°F.
  2. Drizzle olive oil over both sides of the bread slices.
  3. Toast until golden and crisp, approximately 5 minutes.
Assemble the Toast
  1. Drizzle Bona Furtuna 12-Year Aged Balsamic generously over each slice of toasted bread.
  2. Spread goat cheese evenly over each slice.
  3. Arrange the balsamic-soaked figs over the goat cheese.
Finish and Serve
  1. Garnish with chopped candied walnuts and finely chopped parsley.
  2. Drizzle with Bona Furtuna 24-Year Aged Balsamic for a rich, concentrated finish.
  3. Serve immediately.

Notes

Storage: These are meant to be eaten right away, the toast turns soggy under the goat cheese and figs within an hour. The balsamic-soaked figs hold well on their own in the fridge for up to 3 days, so make those ahead and toast the bread just before assembling.
