    blue cheese and fig jam crostini

    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'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. :)

      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!
