Print Recipe

A quick and easy breakfast featuring pillow-soft whipped ricotta, caramelized roasted figs, and a spicy-sweet hot honey drizzle on toasted sourdough bread.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup (250g) whole milk ricotta cheese
  • 6–8 ripe fresh figs, halved or quartered
  • 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil, plus more for brushing bread
  • Pinch of salt
  • 1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
  • 4 slices sourdough bread
  • 1–2 teaspoons hot honey (honey mixed with chili flakes or pre-made spicy honey)
  • Optional garnishes: fresh thyme or mint leaves, flaky sea salt

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Wash and dry figs, cut in halves or quarters. Place cut side up on baking sheet. Drizzle with 1 tablespoon olive oil and sprinkle with a pinch of salt. Roast for 12-15 minutes until soft and caramelized.
  3. While figs roast, whip ricotta in a chilled medium bowl with lemon juice and a pinch of salt using an electric mixer or whisk for 2-3 minutes until light and fluffy.
  4. Brush both sides of sourdough bread slices lightly with olive oil. Toast in a grill pan or toaster until golden and crispy (3-4 minutes per side on pan or 2-3 minutes in toaster).
  5. Spread whipped ricotta generously over toasted bread slices. Arrange roasted figs evenly on top.
  6. Drizzle 1-2 teaspoons of hot honey over each toast.
  7. Garnish with flaky sea salt and fresh herbs if desired. Serve immediately while warm.

Notes

Let ricotta sit at room temperature for 15 minutes before whipping for better texture. Watch figs closely while roasting to avoid burning. If honey isn’t spicy, add chili flakes before drizzling. For vegan version, use plant-based ricotta and gluten-free bread if needed. Toast bread just before assembling to keep crispness.
