Figs are in season and this toast is a great way to use figs when they’re at their peak. This fig and vegan ricotta toast is ready in minutes and it can be an appetiser, a breakfast or a snack!
These toasts might look fancy but they are so easy to make and really quick! The crunchy pistachios and agave syrup are the perfect toppings for juicy figs and smooth vegan ricotta.
Figs are my favourite thing even this season. I get them directly from the tree and they just taste amazing! I love to have toasts as snacks, if you’re like me check out my pan con tomate recipe for a savoury toast idea!
Figs go well with so many things. If you don’t fancy making your own vegan ricotta you can use vegan yoghurt of any nut butter as the base, it will taste delicious!
What ingredients you need
- Bread : a good quality bread that can take many toppings. Grilling it is optional but if it is soft it won’t keep all the toppings.
- Tofu ricotta: This comes together in minutes simply using a blender, mixing firm tofu with a few ingredients. If you don’t want to do this, I suggest using a vegan cream cheese, yoghurt or a nut butter of your choice.
- Syrup : I used agave syrup but you can use any syrup or honey alternative
- Pistachios : these add a nice crunchy toppings but they are totally optional. You could substitute them with other nuts such as crushed hazelnuts or shredded coconut.
