Ingredients

• 1 tablespoon of olive oil
• baguette (thinly sliced)
• 1 cup gorgonzola dolce
• 1 tbsp truffle honey, plus a tiny bit extra for drizzling
• 1 tablespoon chili jam (chutney)
• 2 figs (chopped or fig chutney)
• 12 pancetta strips

Method

• Heat the oven to 390°F.
• Place the baguette slices on a baking sheet, drizzle with oil and season. Bake for around 8-10 minutes until crispy.
• Put the fig quarters into a baking tray, drizzle over 1 tbsp truffle honey, and mix with your hands to coat. Bake for 10 minutes or until soft and lightly caramelized. Set aside.
• Heat the grill to medium-high. Line a baking sheet with foil, then lay the pancetta strips on it. Lightly drizzle with the 1 tbsp truffle honey, then grill for 3-4 minutes until crisp and caramelized. Put on a wire rack to cool slightly.
• Spread each toasted baguette with gorgonzola, then top with half a crispy pancetta and a fig quarter. Drizzle over a little extra truffle honey (go easy!), then finish with a sprinkling of salt.
• Bon Appetite!
