Chef's Tips

For a richer flavor, lightly grill the figs before adding them to the bruschetta.

If you don't have balsamic glaze, you can reduce balsamic vinegar in a saucepan over low heat until it thickens.

You can add a thin layer of ricotta cheese under the figs for a creamier texture.

Use a high-quality balsamic glaze for the best flavor.
