Servings: 4
Ingredients
- ¼ cup vegan butter
- ½ teaspoon cinnamon
- ¾ teaspoon brown sugar
- 4 slices crusty bread I used sourdough
- 1 cup cashews Or 1 cup yogurt if not making ricotta
- ½ cup almond milk Omit if not making ricotta
- 10 fresh figs halved
- 4 TBS maple syrup
- ½ cup chopped nuts I used almonds
Instructions
- Soften vegan butter slightly in microwave and add to a small bowl with sugar and cinnamon. Stir to combine and spread on both sides of bread slices.
- Preheat your grill pan or skillet to high. Once hot, add bread 2 slices at a time, toasting one minute on each side until golden and slightly charred. Set aside.
- If using, make your cashew ricotta by combining cashews in a high speed blender with a pinch of salt and a few splashes of almond milk. Run blender until creamy "cheese" forms. Feel free to skip this step if you'd rather use yogurt.
- Top your toasts with vegan ricotta/yogurt, fresh figs, maple syrup, chopped nuts, and a dash more cinnamon. Serve immediately.
