Slice the baguette into 1/2 inch thick slices. Place on a sheet pan and drizzle each piece with olive oil. Bake for 10-12 minutes until lightly golden brown and crisp. Allow to cool.
In a food processor, add the feta, yogurt, heavy cream, salt & pepper. Blend on high until smooth and creamy. About 1-2 minutes. Use a spatula to scrape the sides down and incorporate. Refrigerate until ready to use, or up to 3 days. It will continue to thicken in the fridge.
To assemble, pipe or spread the whipped feta onto the crostini. Top with sliced fresh figs, a drizzle of honey and flake salt. Enjoy.
