I realize that for a while there I was posting about crostini ALL THE TIME, and I needed to get ahold of myself.  But it’s been a while now, and I can only resist the crostini siren song for so long, and so here I am back again in my crostini groove.  This time with fig jam and blue cheese.  Can you blame me?  I can’t blame me.  

So, just to repeat what I have already said a million times before, crostini is as simple as grabbing a loaf of french bread, slicing it on the diagonal into nice thin slices, brushing them with olive oil and baking them until they are just a little crispy.  We’re not looking for brown here, except maybe around the edges…just a nice toasty feel.

Cool ’em down, and then all that is left to do is spread them with a little fig jam and a small slice of your favorite blue cheese.  I had some Maytag blue, but a creamy Gorgonzola would be heaven as well.  As for the jam, I am seriously in love with Dalmatia fig jam, which comes in this cute little jar.  Click here to get some if you can’t find it in your supermarket.

    I will never ever tire of your crostini. Especially not when they involve figs and cheese!

    I definitely can't blame you for posting this. I love different jams with cheese and on top of some good bread – oh my. This blue and fig jam combo sounds wonderful!

    I'm so addicted to fig jam right now. I made your brie bites and did a post with a link to yours. http://rindymae.blogspot.com/2011/09/game-day-apps-fig-jam-brie-bites.html
    I swear I could eat this kind of stuff every day.
    I'm pinning these too. :)
