Tips
Select figs that yield slightly to gentle pressure for optimal texture.
Warm baguette before slicing to prevent crumbling during assembly.
Good to Know
Assemble just before serving. Leftover components store separately: cheese refrigerated 3-5 days, figs 2-3 days.
Slice baguette and figs up to 2 hours prior. Assemble and roast immediately before serving.
Serve warm from oven as an appetizer or light starter.
Common Mistakes
Do not roast beyond 15 minutes to avoid cheese becoming greasy or figs collapsing entirely.
Do not skip warming baguette to avoid soggy, dense slices.
