Ingredients 

  • 8 slices sourdough bread or pain de campagne
  • 150 gr goat’s cheese
  • 4 figs
  • 1 handful walnuts
  • 2 tbsp honey
  • 2 sprigs thyme fresh, optional
  • olive oil
  • salt and black pepper

Equipment

Instructions

1. Toast the walnuts

  1. Toast the walnuts in a dry pan over medium heat, or in the oven, for 3–4 minutes until fragrant and lightly coloured. Set aside to cool, then chop roughly.

2. Toast the bread

  1. Preheat the oven grill or set your grill to high. Arrange the bread on a baking tray, drizzle lightly with olive oil, and grill for 2–3 minutes on each side until golden and slightly crisp.

3. Assemble the toasts

  1. Spread each slice generously with goat's cheese while the bread is still warm. Top with slices or pieces of fresh fig, then scatter over the toasted walnuts.

4. Finish and serve

  1. Drizzle a little honey over each toast. Season with a touch of salt and pepper, and sprinkle with fresh thyme leaves if you like. Serve immediately, while everything is still slightly warm.

Notes

  • Swap in toasted pecans or almonds if you don’t have walnuts. For extra indulgence, drizzle with a little balsamic glaze as well as honey.
