Ingredients

  • 4 thick slices of sourdough
  • 200g fresh ricotta
  • 4 ripe figs, quartered
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • A small handful of torn mint or basil
  • Flaky sea salt and cracked black pepper

Method

  1. Toast the sourdough until deeply golden at the edges.
  2. Spread each slice generously with ricotta while the toast is still warm.
  3. Arrange the fig quarters over the ricotta and drizzle with honey.
  4. Finish with torn mint, a pinch of flaky salt and a crack of black pepper.

Essy note: No fresh figs in season? Dried figs, warmed briefly in a splash of water, work beautifully too.
