Ingredients Method

Ingredients
  

  • 1 baguette sliced into 1" pieces
  • 1/2 onion thinly sliced
  • 1-2 tsp brown sugar
  • 1 jar fig jam
  • 1 Tbsp balsamic vinegar
  • 1 Tbsp butter or olive oil
  • Kosher salt
  • Drizzle of balsamic glaze optional

Method
 

  1. Begin by toasting the baguette slices. Drizzle them with olive oil and a sprinkle of salt, then pop them under the broiler until lightly toasted. Keep a close eye on them to prevent any unexpected surprises - we want golden perfection!
  2. In a hot frying pan with butter or olive oil, sauté thinly sliced onions with a sprinkle of brown sugar until they become beautifully translucent. Add the balsamic vinegar and sauté for an additional 1 to 2 minutes.
  3. Spread about 1 tablespoon of creamy ricotta cheese on each toasted bread slice. Top with 1 tsp or more of fig jam and some sliced onions.
    Drizzle with balsamic glaze if desired.
