Ingredient Overview

  • Sourdough – Use your favorite, good quality sourdough bread sliced into thick slices.
  • Ricotta – Ricotta cheese can be found near the specialty cheeses in the grocery store. It comes in a tub.
  • Figs – Fresh figs are delicious with the flavors in this recipe!

How to Make this Recipe Step-by-Step:

Step 1: Make the Whipped Ricotta. Add ricotta, olive oil, heavy cream, salt, and pepper to a medium bowl.

Step 3: Prep your Toppings. Slice your fresh figs, and grab any other toppings you might want. Plums, arugula, blackberries, and figs are all great options.

Step 4: Assemble your Ricotta Toast. Spread whipped ricotta on each piece of bread, then pile on the toppings! I went with sliced fresh figs, a drizzle of honey, fresh basil, and a pinch of flaky sea salt.

Expert Success Tips:

  • Make-Ahead – The whipped ricotta can be made ahead, but the rest of the recipe should be prepped as you’re ready to eat.
  • Whipped Ricotta – Whipping it by hand is so much easier than pulling out and dirtying a food processor, since this step only takes a minute or so.

Recipe Variations:

  • Mascarpone – This recipe would be delicious with mascarpone if you don’t like ricotta.
  • Stone Fruits – Try stone fruits instead of figs if you can’t find figs. Peaches, nectarines, or plums would all be incredible. Sliced pear or blood orange is a great option, too!
  • Savory Toasts – Try savory toppings like a drizzle of olive oil and balsamic vinegar, red onion, and cherry tomatoes.

Ingredients

For the Whipped Ricotta

  • 1 cup whole milk ricotta cheese
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1-2 tbsp heavy cream or milk
  • generous pinch salt + pepper

For The Toasts

  • 4 slices good-quality sourdough bread
  • 4-6 large figs
  • honey
  • fresh basil
  • flaky sea salt

Instructions

  • Make the Whipped Ricotta: Add the ricotta, olive oil, milk or heavy cream, and a generous pinch of salt and pepper to a small bowl. Whisk for a minute or two, until the ricotta becomes light and whipped.
  • Assemble the Toasts: Toast your bread in the toaster or in a skillet on medium heat, or on a baking sheet in the oven. Spread on the whipped ricotta, then add your toppings. I sliced my figs vertically into 2-3 slices each. Add them to the ricotta, then add a few fresh basil leaves, a drizzle of honey, and a sprinkle of flaky sea salt to each piece of toast.
  • Serve + Store: Enjoy immediately! This is best made and eaten right when it's made. Whipped ricotta can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to a week.
