Grilled Cinnamon Sugar Toast with Figs and Ricotta

Iris Warren

Report

Grilled Cinnamon Sugar Toast with Figs and Ricotta is toasted bread brushed with a cinnamon sugar butter, topped with whipped ricotta and fresh halved figs. The buttery cinnamon toast gains slight char and crispness from grilling, while the creamy ricotta and naturally sweet figs add fresh, soft, and mildly crunchy textures to this elegant toast.

Description

This recipe grills bread slices evenly coated in a butter mixture flavored with brown sugar, cinnamon, and salt to develop a lightly toasted exterior with a sweet spice note. The ricotta is processed until creamy and smooth, providing a soft, mild contrast to the toasted bread. Fresh halved figs crown the toast, bringing juicy sweetness and a delicate texture. Optional sliced almonds add crunch, and a drizzle of honey can enhance sweetness. Grilling times are brief, ensuring a balance between crisp and tender components. The result is a composed toast suitable for breakfast, brunch, or a light dessert.

Instructions

Keep Screen Awake

Preheat your grill to the highest setting.
To make the butter, stir together the butter, sugar, cinnamon and salt until combined and smooth. Spread each side of the bread slices with the butter.
Place the bread on the grates and grill until toasted, about 1 to 2 minutes per side.
Place the ricotta cheese in a food processor and blend until creamy and smooth. If you want to add any seasonings or extracts, now is the time! I just like it plain.
To serve, add a scoop of the ricotta with the toast and top with fresh figs and a sprinkle of cinnamon. YUM. You can also add a drizzle of honey if you wish and some sliced almonds for crunch!
