Ingredients
Scale
- 2 slices artisan bread
- 1 cup fresh ricotta cheese
- 4 pieces fresh figs
- 2 tbsp raw honey
- 1/4 tsp flaky sea salt
- 2 tbsp chopped pistachios (optional)
Instructions
- Toast the bread: Preheat toaster or oven to medium-high heat. Toast artisan bread until golden brown and crispy
- Prepare ricotta: In a bowl, whip fresh ricotta cheese until smooth and creamy for easy spreading
- Slice figs: Wash and slice fresh figs into halves or quarters, depending on size preference
- Spread ricotta: Generously spread whipped ricotta on each slice of warm toasted bread
- Add toppings: Arrange fig slices on ricotta and drizzle honey evenly over everything
- Final touches: Sprinkle flaky sea salt and optional chopped pistachios before serving immediately
Notes
- Choose figs that yield slightly to gentle pressure but aren’t overly soft to prevent mushiness
- Warm honey slightly for easier drizzling and better flavor distribution across the toast
- Toast bread just before serving to maintain optimal crispiness and prevent sogginess
- Use high-quality ricotta for the best texture and flavor – fresh from a deli counter works wonderfully
