Whipped Ricotta and Fig Toasts
This is the simplest <> fanciest recipe I know. It is SO easy and looks SO dang impressive. Myfavorite combo is by far fig, pistachio, and honey. I know figs can be hard to find sometimes so feel free to mix up the toppings, this is your time to use up those fancy salts, or random toppers you have in your cabinet - get cReAtIve :) Feel free to double or triple depending on your guest count, but I made the recipe for 4 because that's how many I eat when I'm having this appy as a meal.
4 slices bread cut on a diagonal
2 tbsp pistachios
Honey for drizzle
1 fig
1 cup ricotta
Pre Recipe Prep
Whip your ricotta
To your food processor or small blender, add 1 cup ricotta with 1/2 tsp salt. Blend until smooth - a couple minutes. Once smooth, add to a ziploc bag and smush into one corner. Set aside.
Grill your bread
Heat a frying pan over medium heat. Drizzle in 2 tbsp oil and spread across the pan. Drop the bread pieces in and cook until golden brown on both sides. You may need to add a bit more oil on the other side when you flip.
Once you remove the bread from the pan, add your pistachios and lightly toast for about 1 minute. Remove from heat and chop into small pieces.
Assemble
Place your toasts on your platter. Cut a small hole in the corner of your ricotta bag and to a small test strip off your toast to ensure the hole is the right size. Better to start smaller and cut more.
Squeeze ricotta onto toasts in a wiggly pattern, top with figs sliced into 8ths, drizzle with honey and sprinkle with pistachio pieces and flaky salt.
