- Yield: 3 toasts 1x
Ingredients
- Crusty Whole-Grain Bread: 3 slices (each approximately ½-inch thick)
- Part-Skim Ricotta Cheese: ¾ cup
- Fresh Figs: 3 (or alternatively, 6 dried figs, sliced)
- Toasted Sliced Almonds: 1 tablespoon

Instructions
- Toast the Foundation: Prepare the bread by toasting the 3 slices using a toaster or oven broiler until they achieve a golden-brown hue and are satisfyingly crisp, according to your preference.
- Spread the Creaminess: Once toasted, generously layer approximately ¼ cup of the part-skim ricotta cheese evenly over each warm bread slice.

- Add Nutty Texture: Sprinkle 1 teaspoon of toasted sliced almonds over the figs on each of the three toasts.
- Sweeten and Enhance: Delicately drizzle each serving with 1 teaspoon of honey, ensuring even distribution. Follow this with a light drizzle of ½ teaspoon of balsamic glaze over each toast for an added depth of flavor.
