Tips & Tricks:

  • Cream Cheese: Make sure you let the cream cheese sit out and come to room temperature before trying to mix. If it is too cold the cream cheese with stay in clumps. Microwaving it will not work.
  • Toast Your Bread: Toasting the baguette adds a nice bit of crunch and helps keep sturdy after adding the toppings.
  • Olive Oil vs Butter: Either will work for brushing onto the bread so you what you have got! If using butter I recommend melting it first.
  • Make Ahead: You can mix the cheeses ahead of time and assemble whenever you are ready. Same goes for your fig jam.
