Equipment

  • Toaster or grill pan
  • Small bowl
  • Fork
  • Cutting board
  • Sharp knife

Ingredients

  • 4 slices sturdy bread (e.g. sourdough or whole grain)
  • 250 g ricotta
  • 4 fresh figs
  • 40 g walnuts, coarsely chopped
  • 2 tbsp liquid honey
  • 1 tsp lemon juice
  • Pinch of salt

How do you make ricotta toast with honey, walnuts and fresh figs?

    1. Toast the slices of bread until golden brown and crispy in your toaster or in a grill pan over medium heat.
    2. Break up the ricotta with a fork and add a pinch of salt and a small splash of lemon juice. This gives the ricotta a little extra brightness.
    3. Spread a generous layer of ricotta on each toasted slice of bread.
    4. Cut the figs into quarters or thin slices and arrange them over the ricotta.
    5. Scatter the coarsely chopped walnuts over for a pleasant crunchy contrast.
    6. Finally, drizzle a tablespoon of honey over each toast. Serve immediately and enjoy.

No fresh figs on hand? Use dried figs, pear slices or a handful of blueberries. The combination of creamy ricotta with sweet fruit and a bit of crunch always works. That way you can have a different breakfast every morning using the same base recipe.

A good grill pan makes a difference: it gives your bread those nice grill marks and an extra smoky edge that a regular toaster can’t achieve. Invest in quality that will last through many breakfasts.
