Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup honey
  • 2 sprigs of fresh rosemary
  • 1 cup ricotta
  • 1-2 tbsps grated parmesan
  • 1/4 tsp kosher salt
  • pinch fresh black pepper
  • 4-6 fresh figs
  • 4-6 slices crusty artisan bread (about 1/2" thick) (I like country or sourdough)
  • 1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
  • Flaked sea salt & fresh pepper to finish

Instructions

  1. Begin by adding the honey and the rosemary sprigs to a small saucepan. Bring to simmer, then turn off and set aside to steep.

  2. Then in a medium bowl or bowl of an electric mixer, add the ricotta, grated parmesan, salt and pepper. Whip by hand with a spatula or with the mixer's paddle attachment until it's light and fluffy. This should take only about a minute. Set aside.

  3. Slice the figs into 6 or 8 little wedges per fig. Then toast the 4 slices of bread in the toaster until golden brown. While still warm, drizzle each slice with a little of the 1 tbsp of olive oil. Then sprinkle each with a little sea salt.

  4. Turn the flame back on for the honey and bring it up to heat so it's a pourable consistency. It should have taken on some nice rosemary flavor by now. Take it off the heat and begin assembling. Spread a little of the ricotta on each slice, then top with the fig slices. Drizzle each toast with some of the rosemary honey and sprinkle with a little sea salt and fresh black pepper. If desired, spoon out a few pieces of rosemary from the honey to place on top of each toast. Enjoy!
