Steps
To make the crostini with ricotta and caramelized figs, drizzle the slices of bread with a bit of extra virgin olive oil, then toast them on a preheated non-stick griddle. Grill them for a few minutes on each side and set aside.
Rinse the figs, cut them in half, and then into two slices each. In a skillet, heat a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil, then add the figs and sprinkle them with the sugar.
Cook the figs over moderate heat for a few seconds on each side, taking care to turn them with kitchen tongs.
In a bowl, combine the ricotta, a pinch of salt, and mix with a spoon.
Take a slice of bread, spread the ricotta on top, place three fig slices, and roughly chopped walnuts on it.
Repeat the process for the other slices of bread. Serve and enjoy!
