Crispy bruschetta toasts with gorgonzola cheese spread on top and a fresh fig with balsamic glaze. Fig and Gorgonzola Bruschetta with Balsamic Syrup are pure appetizer deliciousness with a creamy, crispy, and fresh mouth feel!
Rachel has really gotten where I wish I could be....in a way. I am a good talker and I love to eat...but to stand in my kitchen and talk and cook - that I don't think I could do. When I cook, I want to be left alone. I don't want people hovering over me much less do I want to have to be "scripted" in anyway. However, a show like her Tasty Travel's show....now that I could do! Give me food someone else has made and let me talk about it - I'd be awesome at that! Probably most of my family, friends and co-workers that I've carried on conversations with would tell you how my topic of conversation always goes to food! I was certainly blessed with the gift of gab.
- Thin slices of crusty baguette
- Butter Spray
- Gorgonzola Cheese
- Fresh Figs, sliced in half (I used black mission figs)
- Balsamic Syrup
- Spray slices of baguette with butter spray and place on cookie sheet. Broil until lightly toasted, flip and toast other side. Keep a close eye on your baguette slices as they will burn quickly if you decide to not pay attention to them!
- Remove baguette slices from oven and spread a small amount of Gorgonzola cheese over warm slices and top with ½ fig, drizzle with Balsamic Syrup.....enjoy!

Shelby, I love this appetizer. I'm gonna look for fresh figs at the farmer's market and give this a try. Stumbled, pinned, and enjoyed. 🙂

I would love to try cooking with figs but I can't find them in my grocery store. And driving 1.5 hours round trip to Whole Foods isn't an option most days. 🙁

been eating balsamic this summer on everything.
i honestly don't know why i crave it so much. there has to be a mineral or vitamin in it for me to crave it.
so you can imagine how good this looks Shel.

Hey Katrina, I did see that you used your microwave. I'll try it when I'm home and Grumpy won't be around for a while. He really disliked the odor reducing it made. However, it is YUMMY stuff!

I know on your last post it had balsamic syrup that you bought. I've never even looked for it. But thought I'd let you know, when I made that caprese panini, I just took about 1/3 cup of vinegar and nuked it in 30 second intervals for only like 2 minutes and it's perfect syrup. I can't wait to try it with more things!
