Prepare the Balsamic Figs Light a grill or preheat a grill pan. Lightly brush the cut sides of the figs with olive oil and grill until lightly browned and warm, about 2 minutes. Transfer the figs to a bowl and top with the basil, balsamic vinegar and the 2 tablespoons of olive oil. Season with salt and pepper. Toss to coat and let stand for 20 minutes.
Make the Tapenade In a medium bowl, combine all of the ingredients through the balsamic vinegar, then season with salt and pepper; let stand for 30 minutes.
Make the Compote Combine all of the ingredients except the ricotta and bread in a medium saucepan and bring to a boil. Cook over moderately low heat, stirring occasionally, until the liquid is syrupy, about 30 minutes. Transfer to a bowl and let cool for 5 minutes; discard the thyme sprigs.
Make the Compote Serve the ricotta chilled or at room temperature with toasted baguette slices and the figs, tapenade and compote.
