A California Fig Tartine with goat cheese on sourdough bread is a delicious and simple way to enjoy the flavors of fall. The tangy goat cheese pairs perfectly with the sweet figs and the crunch of the sourdough bread adds texture to this satisfying meal. This recipe is quick and easy to make and is perfect for a light lunch or as an appetizer at a dinner party.
I was lucky to grow up in California, with several fruit trees in our backyard. My favorite was the fig tree! Every year when they would start to ripen, I’d climb into the branches and pick my fill of figs, eating them while nestled in the tree, not even bothering to return to the ground. I would get so sticky, but I loved the honey-sweet fruit so much, that I didn’t care much.
A fresh California fig is so perfect a flavor on its own, so simplicity was key for this delicious snack, light supper, or even appetizer.
A tartine (basically, France’s answer to an open-faced sandwich), seemed the perfect way to showcase the gorgeous sliced figs. I couldn’t get enough of the combination of flavors that this tartine has. The freshness of the thyme, paired with the crunchy sourdough, lovely cheese, and delicate figs, is incredible!

Fresh Fig Tartine
Ingredients
- 4 ripe Figs sliced
- Soughdough Bread Loaf
- Soft Goat Cheese
- Honey
- Fresh Thyme leaves removed from stems
Instructions
- First, slice the sourdough bread, and toast lightly, either in a toaster or under the broiler in an oven. Then spread a layer of goat cheese on the bread.
- Then, add 2-3 slices of fig, and drizzle with a bit of honey, then sprinkle with thyme leaves.
I wrap whole figs in prosciutto which gives a slight salty hit and don’t use the sourdough which reduces carbs and GI. I will try this though.
