Ingredients

8 green onions, finely chopped  
2 garlic cloves, finely chopped
2 tbsp (30 ml) olive oil, plus more for drizzling
2 tbsp (30 ml) balsamic vinegar
1 baguette loaf  
4 large fresh figs, sliced
3 tbsp (20 g) walnuts, chopped
5 oz (140 g) Gorgonzola cheese, cut into small pieces

Preparation

With a rack in the highest position, preheat the oven’s broiler.
In a non-stick skillet over medium heat, soften the green onions and garlic in the olive oil. Add the balsamic vinegar and reduce. Set aside.
On a work surface, slice the baguette in half horizontally. Remove both ends, then cut into 8 pieces of about 4 inches (10 cm) each. Place on a non-stick or foil-lined baking sheet.
Spread the green onion mixture over the bread. Cover with figs, overlapping them. Sprinkle with the nuts and cheese. Drizzle oil over the crostini.
Broil for a few minutes in the oven. Season with pepper. Serve hot as a snack or starter.

Note from Ricardo

If you can’t find fresh figs, you can use pear slices.
