Grilled Bruschetta with Harvarti, Honey and Figs
Makes 32 appetizers
Ingredients:
8 5x3x 1/2 inch slices crusty country-style bread
Olive oil
1 8-ounce piece of Harvarti cheese cut into 8 slices
8 ripe fresh figs, stemmed, quartered lengthwise
Dark full-flavored honey
Directions:
Prepare barbecue (medium-high heat).
Brush both sides of bread with oil. Place bread slices directly on 1 side of grill rack; place sheet of foil large enough to hold bread slices on other side of grill rack. Grill bread until grill marks appear on bottom, about 3 minutes. Turn bread slices over and place bread, grilled side down, on foil. Place 1 cheese slice atop each bread slice; close barbecue and grill bread until cheese melts, about 3 minutes.
Transfer bread to work surface; cut each slice into 4 pieces. Top each piece with fig slice. Drizzle lightly with honey and sprinkle lightly with fresh ground black pepper.
Transfer to a platter and serve.

Good morning V! Happy July to you. This appetizer looks superb and easy..2 great characteristics of the type appetizers I prefer.
Sweet figs, cheese, honey, bread...OMG!
My favorite flavors, honey and havarti! Looks delicious.
I actually said, "Oh my GOD," outloud when I saw this. If it wasn't a holiday here, I'd be at the grocery store right now! Great recipe!
Would it be wrong if I just made grilled cheese sandwiches out of this recipe and ate them all myself? Looks amazing.
That seems so nice and refreshing, wondering if you could make a fig martini with that? I am sure your mixologist would come up with something!
Those are SEXY-looking! I'm getting a little sweaty just looking at them!
These grilled bruchetta look so wonderful with the figs atop!
They look good! I can't wait for our next fig season!
This sounds and looks delicious! Love the flavors with the figs and Harvarti cheese. I could definitely make a meal of this and must try it! Thanks for the recipe!
toaat points - check
havarti - check

What a delightful combo of flavors Velva! I'm going to make this for my next party!!
Fig, honey, cheese, bread, & olive oil. Oh yes, "fresh and easy" and "sinfully delicious" appetizer.
In a recent post, I wrote about you and your blog. See for yourself:

I'm hoping I will get a few more fresh figs off of our other fig trees soon. It doesn't take the birds long to find them when they are ripe.
Looks good.
The figs here are still green...I can't wait to try this!!!
Havarti is sort of my chocolate in many ways. It doesn't last very long at all ;o)
Now, paired with fresh sweet figs...I'm now in heaven ;)
Great easy recipe that can be a great start to any meal. Personally, I would add a great glass of Rosé wine and call it a day!
Flavourful wishes,
Claudia
Havarti and fig is one of my favorite cheese and fruit combos. Delicious!
Ah, bruschetta! It's not just for tomatoes!! We are planning an Italian dinner soon. I will definitely add this to the menu.
Best,

Love this! Sounds wonderful. I hope I can find figs around here. Great barbecue app!
I'm just learning to love havarti. Great flavor and I just happen to have some figs on the counter. Love this idea!
Mmm this looks right up my alley. Honey and cheese with a little bit of fruit are always a winning combination!
This recipe is perfect for the 4th of July! My guest will love having the bruschetta grilled.
Love figs and Havarti! I would love to have a plate of these for breakfast! Happy 4th!
This looks so fancy, but seems so easy! My kind of appetizer :) Thanks for sharing!
Never tried bruschetta with cheese, honey and figs, looks so good
oh this looks awesome adore figs have a great holiday weekend
Oh my...these are simply lovely! Love Havarti and with honey and figs? Score! I cannot wait until figs are readily available here!
My first instinct was to be leery of the figs but you know what I've learned from guava. I denied myself like a dummy all these years. I won't do that with figs. :)
Happy 4th!

Oh my word, how did I miss this?? My reader isn't working right, I think, because I would have swooned over this one. Yummy!
This makes me miss my little fig tree.
