Want to upgrade an intimate evening tea, or serve an appetiser that’s simple yet elegant? Then these fig-and-cheese sourdough canapés are what you need. The ripe and fresh figs add an earthy sweetness to the dish, which perfectly complements the crunchy toast and soft, melting cheese. Creamy, tangy cheeses like goat cheese work best with fresh figs, but you can also use ricotta or cream cheese for this dish.
Place a pan on medium-low heat. Grease it with oil or butter. Once the pan is hot, toast the sourdough bread slices until they turn golden brown and crisp. Turn off the heat.

Step 2: Add the cheese and figs
While the bread is still warm, drizzle olive oil on top. Now, spread the cheese on each slice. Next, arrange the fig slices on top of the cheese.

Step 3: Garnish and serve
Drizzle the canapés with honey, then sprinkle with chopped nuts and a pinch of sea salt and black pepper. These canapés are best enjoyed right away while the bread is crisp and the cheese is soft.
