Fig and Goat Cheese Appetizers

Our Relief Society Book Group met in our home last night to discuss Princess Academy, by Shannon Hale. I found this recipe to serve in honor of Pa; who in chapter one left his home for the marble quarry early in the morning with an "onion..." and a "slice of brown goat cheese". For some reason that meal just really stuck in my mind as an awful way to start your day, or an awful lunch to have to look forward to. This is much tastier!

Ingredients

• 8 oz Goat Cheese
• 8 oz Fig Preservers
• 1 Large Yellow Onion (sliced)
• 2 Loafs of French Bread

Directions

1. In a large non-stick pan caramelize your onion slices until translucent and dark in color.
2. Pre-Heat Oven to 350 Degrees
3. Cut your French Break into ½ slices and arrange in one layer on a cookie sheet.
4. Bake until golden brown but not burnt.
5. Top each cristini with a layer of goat cheese, fig preserves and the caramelized onions

I cut and paste this recipe directly from the website. I love the way they spelled loaves; it's the way my German mother would probably list it, which makes me smile.
