Whipped Brie: Remove the rind from the brie. Add to a food processor and blend until smooth. Spoon into a piping bag or a Ziploc with the corner cut off.

Figs: Cut off the stems, then slice the figs. Lay out a piece of plastic wrap on the cuttings board and arrange the fig slices in a rectangle large enough to top each piece of brioche. Cover with another piece of plastic wrap on and, using a roller pin, press gently until the figs are even and thin. Remove the top layer of wrap.

Assemble:
• Drizzle each toasted brioche slice with port balsamic reduction.
• Place the slices, reduction side down, on top of the figs.
• With a knife, trim along the edges of the brioche slices so the fig layer will fit on top of each piece.
• Place another cutting board on top and flip so the toasted brioche is on the bottom and the figs on top.
• Pipe each slice with whipped brie, drizzle with honey, and sprinkle with crushed pistachios and chopped chives.
