Why this works.
Three flavors — sweet honey, salty cheese, jammy fig — plus crunch from toast. It works because fresh figs are basically already a dessert.
If you have ricotta, use it. If you don't, butter is fine. The fig is the star.
Steps.
- Toast the bread until it's golden but still soft inside.
- Spread the ricotta thick across the warm toast.
- Lay the fig slices on top in one layer. Overlap slightly.
- Drizzle honey across the top — about a teaspoon.
- Finish with flaky salt and a crack of pepper.
- Eat with your hands. There is no other way.
Vihaan's tips
- Goat cheese instead of ricotta is incredible.
- Pop it under the broiler 1–2 min for a hot version.
- Balsamic glaze instead of honey if you have it.
