Lightly drizzle each finished crostini with aged balsamic vinegar. Serve immediately or at room temperature. (2 minutes)
For a richer flavor, toast the baguette slices with a light brush of olive oil.
If you can't find black Mission figs, use another variety or substitute with fig jam.
A sprinkle of sea salt adds a delightful contrast to the sweetness of the figs and balsamic.
Make ahead: Toast the baguette slices in advance and store in an airtight container. Assemble the crostini just before serving to prevent the bread from becoming soggy.
