Brush both sides with oil. Arrange on baking sheet; broil until golden, 1 to 2 minutes per side.
Slice Brie cheese into 24 pieces; divide evenly among toasts. Slice each fig into 8 wedges; place 1 wedge on each cheese slice. Top each with pecan. (Make-ahead: Refrigerate in airtight container for up to 24 hours.)
