BLACK PEPPER & HONEY RICOTTA STUFFED FIGS.

Print Recipe

Ingredients
  

  • 4 large or 6 small-medium ripe fresh figs any variety
  • 1/3 cup ricotta cheese
  • 1 teaspoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon honey
  • ¼ teaspoon freshly cracked pepper or to taste depending on the piquancy you like
  • pinch of sea salt
  • crusty bread or crackers to serve

Instructions
 

  • If roasting, preheat oven or toaster oven to 400º.
  • Quarter figs, leaving a ¼-inch uncut at their base, so they fall open just slightly.
  • In a small bowl, gently mix ricotta, olive oil, honey, cracked pepper, and sea salt. Distribute evenly amongst figs, then gently squeeze fig quarters into the ricotta to hold in place. Drizzle with olive oil and serve with warmed, sliced bread or crackers.
  • If roasting, place stuffed on a baking sheet. Roast for 5-7 minutes, keeping an eye on them. As you can see in my pic above, they get very melty very fast!
  • Enjoy food as sex! Or something.
