Broiled Ripe Figs with Warm Ricotta and Honey

Recipe information

  • Yield

    serves 2

Ingredients

1 cup fresh whole-milk ricotta
2 teaspoons honey, plus more for drizzling
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 cup turbinado sugar
8 large ripe figs, with stems, cut in half lengthwise

Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Preheat the broiler, setting the rack as high as possible.

    Step 2

    In a small bowl, combine the ricotta, honey, and salt.

    Step 3

    Sprinkle the sugar on a small plate and dip each fig half, cut side down, into it, coating the entire surface with a thin, even layer. Place the figs, sugar side up, on a baking sheet and place it under the broiler. Broil for 4 to 6 minutes, or until all the sugar is completely melted and dark brown. Watch closely!

    Step 4

    Serve with the ricotta mixture and an additional drizzle of honey
