Here’s a simple fall appetizer, perfect for potlucks,  gatherings and speical dinners that was always was a huge hit in our catering business -Fig Bruschetta with Cambozola and Sage Honey.

Figs are something we don’t have growing here where I live in the Pacific Northwest- but I have such a deep fondness for them from growing up in Southern California, I always make a point of picking some up when they show up.

As some of you know- we’re spending the winter in Santa Barbara this year and to my amazement, I stumbled on some figs at the local farmers market here. Many of you won’t find them this time of year, especially if you live in the north, but tuck this away for sometime later when they do make an appearance.

Fig Bruschetta- it’s a simple recipe but the flavors work well together. The salty, creamy cambozola is the perfect partner for the figs, and the infused honey just brings it all together.

Description

Fig Bruschetta with Cambozola Cheese and sage honey- a simple appetizer highlighting fresh figs that can be served warm or room temperature.


Ingredients

Units

Sage Honey:

  • 1/2 cup honey
  • 4 tablespoons water
  • 68 fresh sage leaves ( or sub 3 rosemary sprigs or thyme sprigs)

Balsamic Glaze for drizzling.


Instructions

Preaheat oven to 400.

Make the Sage honey: Place all ingredients into a small pot. Heat over low heat, stirring, until hot, turn heat off. You could do this ahead for maximum sage flavor ( Just leave on your counter, remove sage before using.)

Make the Bruschetta: Slice baguette into 1/3 inch thick slices. Place on a sheet pan and light brush or spray both sides with olive oil. You should have about 24 slices. Sprinkle with salt. Bake until crisp, golden and fragrant, about 20 mintues.

Assemble: Slice the cambazola into thin slices, including the skin, and place a small slice ( 1 inch by 2 inches) on each bruschetta. Top with half a fig. Drizzle with the sage honey and sprinkle with cracked pepper and salt.

Place on a platter and serve at room temp, or place it back into the warm oven to melt the cheese a bit, ( 10-15 mintues) then platter and serve warm.

Drizzle with a balsamic glaze if you like.

  1. Made these tonight with triple crème Brie instead of cambozola as our guest don’t like blue cheese of any kind. These were great. My husband can’t get over the sage honey. ❤️

  2. Loved this recipe, simple and the fig is the star. You said that you live in the Pacific Northwest where fig trees don’t grow, I also live in the Pacific Northwest, in BC Canada and have 3 healthy fig trees in my front yard, you might want to try planting your own. It is well worth it, and I look forward to them every year, especially now that I have found your recipes, thank you.

    1. Thanks Bonny! Glad you liked the recipe! You must be on the west side? We are in Spokane where it snows a lot.

  3. Fig with gorgonzola or cambezola drizzled with a little honey and just a pinch of finely chopped fresh rosemary is one of our favorite combinations (my Italian heritage hubby as a great fondness for fresh figs). What a great idea to use water in with the honey for consistency and infuse the herbal character into the honey rather than sprinkling finely chopped herbs over top. Thanks! We’re looking forward to the sage combination used in honey as here.






      1. Excellent and super easy! Figs just came out and everyone loved it. Didnt have any sage, so sprinkled some chopped basil over the top. Thank you!
