Step 1

1.preheat broiler
2.trim tough stem from figs. slice each fig lengthwise into 3 slices and place in a shallow dish like a pie plate. Drizzle with oil and vinegar and season with salt and pepper. Let stand for at least 5 minutes or up to one day (I like to prepare this the night before or in the morning)
3.place baguette slices on a baking sheet. top each with a slice of fig, reserving oil and vinegar. Sprinkle fig with cheese. broil for 1-2 minutes or until cheese is melted. Serve drizzled with reserved oil and vinegar.
