Instructions
-
Spoon the ricotta into a small bowl, add the pinch of salt and whip with a fork for about 1 minute until smooth and slightly fluffy.
~1 min
Whipping breaks down ricotta's curds and incorporates air, making it smooth, glossy, and spreadable instead of grainy.
Whip the ricotta a full minute: the fork breaks down the curds and the mixture turns glossy and spreadable instead of grainy.
Whisking Use a fork or whisk in a brisk circular motion for a full minute. Stop when the ricotta looks glossy and holds soft peaks; under-whipping leaves it grainy.
-
Slice the figs into 5 mm rounds. Roughly chop the walnuts.

-
Spread the whipped ricotta evenly over the 2 slices of toast.
~1 min
-
Arrange the fig slices over the ricotta, scatter the chopped walnuts on top, drizzle with the 2 tsp honey and finish with a pinch of black pepper.
~3 min
Honey adds sweetness and moisture, while black pepper's bite balances the creamy ricotta and sweet figs.
