Notes
- You can buy ricotta or make your own. (Don't worry, it's easy peasy).
- Your baguette can be toasted ahead of time to avoid the melting fig preserves.
- I don't recommend assembling them till the last minute. You want that bread CRISP.
- Feel free to go deconstructed. Your guests can add more or less of things.
