Elevated Fig & Ricotta Toast
This elevated toast offers a harmonious blend of creamy ricotta, sweet figs, and a touch of balsamic, perfect for a sophisticated breakfast, light lunch, or elegant appetizer.
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
- Honey: 1 tablespoon
- Balsamic Glaze: 1 ½ teaspoons
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.
- Arrange the Fruit: Attractively place the sliced figs (equivalent to 1 fresh fig or 2 dried figs per slice) on top of the ricotta cheese.
- 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.
- Serve Promptly: Present the Elevated Fig & Ricotta Toasts immediately to be enjoyed at their best.
