Goat Cheese Tartine Recipe

Preparation Steps

1. 1

   Caramelize the Onions

   In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Slice the onion thinly and add it to the skillet. Cook for about 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally until the onions are golden brown and caramelized. Season with salt and pepper.

2. 2

   Prepare the Balsamic Reduction

   In a small saucepan, bring the balsamic vinegar to a boil over medium-high heat. Reduce the heat to low and let it simmer until it thickens and reduces to about half its original volume, about 10-15 minutes. Stir occasionally and add honey for sweetness.

3. 3

   Prepare the Figs

   Wash the figs and cut them into quarters or halves, depending on your preference.

4. 4

   Assemble the Tartine

   Slice the baguette or sourdough into 1-inch thick slices and toast them lightly. Spread a generous amount of goat cheese on each slice, top with caramelized onions, and arrange the figs on top.

5. 5

   Drizzle Balsamic Reduction

   Drizzle the balsamic reduction over the assembled tartines. Garnish with fresh thyme or rosemary if using.

6. 6

   Serve

   Serve the tartines immediately while the bread is still warm.
