September 23, 2022

When figs are in season, let those beauties do the work, while you take the credit.

  • 1/4 tsp ground black pepper

  • 3/4 cup whole milk ricotta cheese

  • 1 tsp lemon zest

  • 2 Tbsps chopped basil

  • 1 Tbsp extra virgin olive oil, plus more for crostini

  • 1 baguette, sliced

  • 1 8 oz. carton figs, quartered

  • Honey, to garnish

  • Flaky sea salt, to garnish

  1. Set oven to broil with a rack in the top position. Place the sliced baguette on a sheet tray, drizzle each slice with extra virgin olive oil, and broil for about 2-3 minutes until golden brown.

  2. Meanwhile, add the ricotta, lemon zest, basil, oil, and black pepper to a medium bowl and whisk until fully combined.
  3. Slather about a tablespoon of ricotta mixture on each crostini and place on a serving platter. Top each crostini with 3-4 fig quarters, drizzle the entire platter with honey, and garnish each crostini with flaky sea salt.
