1. Preheat the broiler on high and adjust the rack to 6 inches below the element.
2. Brush the baguette slices with olive oil on both sides. Arrange the baguette slices on a baking sheet. Broil briefly until the top is golden brown and toasted (about 2-3 minutes). Remove from the oven, but keep the broiler on for later.
3. In a bowl, combine the goat cheese, crushed pistachios and walnuts, molasses, basil leaves, salt and pepper. Mix well with a spoon until the goat cheese mixture is well combined.
4. Spread a generous amount of the goat cheese mixture on top of each toasted baguette slice, then top each with a slice of fig.
5. When cool enough to handle, transfer the goat cheese crostini to a serving platter. Drizzle with molasses and garnish with more fresh basil, if you like. Enjoy warm or at room temperature!
6. Return the crostini to the oven. Broil for another 3-4 minutes until the goat cheese has melted and browned around the edges. The figs will soften some more and gain a little color. Remove from the oven and turn the broiler off.
