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

Toast the walnuts

  • 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.

Toast the bread

  • 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.

Assemble the toasts

  • 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.

Finish and serve

  • 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.
