For a richer flavor, toast the baguette slices with a light brush of olive oil. If you can't find black Mission figs, use another variety or substitute with fig jam. A sprinkle of sea salt adds a delightful contrast to the sweetness of the figs and balsamic. Make ahead: Toast the baguette slices in advance and store in an airtight container. Assemble the crostini just before serving to prevent the bread from becoming soggy.
