Directions:

  1. Preparation:
  2. To prepare fig topping, remove stems from figs. place fig and juice in food processor; process until figs are coarsely chopped. Place fig mixture, 2 c. water, syrup, and dash of salt in a medium saucepan; bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer 25 minutes or until thick. Cool completely.
  3. To prepare onions, heat a large nonstick skillet coated with cooking spray or oil over medium heat. Add onion, vinegar, 1/2 t. thyme, and 1/4 t. salt; cover and cook 5 minutes. Uncover and cook 20 minutes or until onion is deep golden brown, stirring occasionally.
  4. Spread 1 t. cheese over each baguette slice. Top each slice with about 1 t. jam + 1 t. onions. Sprinkle evenly with thyme leaves.
  5. *The changes I made were: I didn't use the food processor to chop the figs, just chopped them coarsely by hand. I used about 1 c. onion instead of 2 c. because I used mini baguettes for an appetizer size. I used brie cheese (because it's what I had on hand, and I accidently grabbed gorgonzola cheese instead of goat cheese-shoot!). I adjusted the amounts of everything on the bread because they were smaller. i also topped the cheese with a little bit of store bought fig jam, but next time i'd prolly skip it!
