Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Carefully slice your baguette into ½-inch thick pieces diagonally.
Drizzle a light coating of olive oil over each baguette slice.
Toast the baguette slices for about 8–10 minutes in the preheated oven.
Combine softened goat cheese with salt and pepper in a mixing bowl.
Let the toasted baguette slices cool for about a minute.
Spread a generous layer of the goat cheese mixture onto each toasted baguette slice.
Add a dollop of fig jam on top of each goat cheese spread.
