Fig, Pancetta and Brie Bruschetta
- 5 whole Fresh Figs (I Used Black Mission)
- 5 slices Thin Pancetta, Unrolled And Cut In Half
- 1 Tablespoon Olive Oil
- 1 whole Baguette, Sliced Into 10 1/2 Thick Pieces
- 1/4 cups Honey
- 2 ounces, weight Brie
- Slice the figs in half lengthwise.
- Wrap one piece of cut pancetta around the fig with the ends meeting on the flat cut side.
- If you wish, you could place a toothpick through, but if you are grilling, remember to soak your toothpicks first so they dont catch on fire.
- Drizzle the olive oil over the bread slices.
- Heat a grill to medium high.
- Place the wrapped figs on the hottest part of the grill and cook for about 5-6 minutes on each side.
- You want to just cook the pancetta, but not overdo it or your fig will turn to absolute mush.
- Place the toasts on the cooler side of your grill and toast them for about 3 minutes each side.
- Arrange the bread and figs on a plate.
- I like to serve these self-serve style so I place the honey and brie on the plate with something to spread the brie on to the toast and a little spoon for the honey.
- To put them together, simply smear a generous tablespoon or so of brie and drizzle about 1/2 teaspoon of honey over the brie.
- Then place the pancetta-wrapped fig on top and give it a little squish.
- Enjoy!
