- 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
- Toast the sourdough until deeply golden at the edges.
- Spread each slice generously with ricotta while the toast is still warm.

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