1. I love this snack:

A piece of sturdy bread toasted, cream cheese (I use Miyokos vegan), and figs or fig jam.

3. Sounds good!

I have a fig tree that is *WAY* bigger than I expected it would be. In my front yard. Kind of embarassing, actually. However---I do love the bumper crop of figs I get every August! That's what keeps me from removing it. I made fig jam one year and we ate it with cheese on bread. I like the idea of regular old figs with cream cheese on toasted bread---I'm going to get some cream cheese...thanks for the idea.

Every August I think I eat my weight in figs

4. I first had it at a bakery in Madrid. I don't remember what kind of bread they used, just that it wasnt

Regular soft bread, it had some oomph to it. Now I either toast a sturdy bread or sometimes get that German very heavy, very thin bread. Below is one option, the brand has several choices. I like they they come shrink wrapped and are happy hiding in the cupboard for a long time.

2. Looks delish.

I better go check on the fig tree in the back yard.. Usually hornets let me know as they scarf up the hapless ants on their way to the tree.

5. I had my first ripe fig off of a tree of a friend of mine

I can honestly say that I love them ripe fresh. Oh what a treat that was. I have bought dried figs but a ripe one fresh off the tree is amazing.
