Print Recipe

A simple yet satisfying toast combining creamy ricotta, sweet honey, fresh figs, and toasted walnuts for a cozy, layered flavor experience perfect for quiet mornings or indulgent snacks.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 slices sturdy artisanal bread (sourdough or rustic whole grain)
  • ½ cup (120g) fresh whole milk ricotta, room temperature
  • 4–5 ripe fresh figs, sliced
  • 2 tablespoons (30ml) high-quality wildflower or clover honey
  • ¼ cup (30g) chopped toasted walnuts
  • 1 teaspoon (5ml) extra virgin olive oil (optional)
  • Pinch of flaky sea salt

Instructions

  1. Toast the walnuts: Place ¼ cup chopped walnuts in a dry skillet over medium heat. Stir frequently for 3-5 minutes until golden brown and fragrant. Remove immediately to cool.
  2. Prepare the bread: Toast 2 slices of artisanal bread to preferred crispness (3-4 minutes in toaster or 4-5 minutes in skillet, flipping halfway).
  3. Mix ricotta and honey: In a small bowl, gently stir together ½ cup ricotta and 1 tablespoon honey until combined but slightly textured.
  4. Slice figs: Rinse, pat dry, and slice 4-5 ripe figs into thin rounds or quarters.
  5. Assemble the toast: Spread ricotta-honey mixture evenly over warm toast slices. Arrange fig slices on top.
  6. Top with walnuts and drizzle: Sprinkle toasted walnuts over figs, drizzle remaining 1 tablespoon honey, then drizzle olive oil if using.
  7. Finish with sea salt: Add a small pinch of flaky sea salt to balance sweetness and enhance flavors.

Notes

Toast walnuts yourself for best flavor and crunch. Use room temperature ricotta for easy spreading. Assemble toast just before eating to keep textures fresh. Optional: add fresh thyme or cracked black pepper for herbal notes. Variations include vegan substitutions and seasonal fruit swaps.
