Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and lightly grease the oven-safe baking dish with olive oil.
1 tbsp olive oil
Using a sharp knife, slice the goat cheese log into 1/2-inch rounds and gently place them into the baking dish.
8 oz goat cheese log
In a small bowl, combine honey and fresh thyme leaves. Drizzle this mixture over the goat cheese rounds evenly.
1 tbsp honey, 1 tsp fresh thyme leaves
Bake the goat cheese in the preheated oven for 12–15 minutes, until the tops are golden and bubbling.
While the cheese bakes, toast the baguette slices in a dry pan or oven until crisp, then rub each slice lightly with the cut garlic clove.
1 baguette, 1 clove garlic
Transfer the baked goat cheese to a serving platter. Garnish with extra thyme and a light drizzle of honey. Serve with toasted baguette slices and fig jam.
1 tbsp honey, 1 tsp fresh thyme leaves, 1 baguette, 1 tbsp fig jam

Try drizzling balsamic glaze instead of honey for a tangier finish. Pair with crisp white wine or sparkling water for balance.
