Fig, Ricotta, and Honey Open-faced Sandwiches

Martha Stewart Living

Makes 6 servings

    1 1/4 cups ricotta cheese                                      
    10 slices rustic bread                                         
    4 teaspoons fresh thyme                                        
    Salt and pepper                                                
    10 fresh green or red figs cut to 1/4-in slice    
    Lemon zest             
    Honey for drizzling                                            

Spread the ricotta over each bread slice. Sprinkle each with the thyme, and season with salt and pepper. Arrange the figs on top, dividing evenly among the slices. Drizzle the honey over the figs, and serve immediately.

My Notes: I love this sandwich. It's simple and really tasty. Pepper is key to the whole thing. I don't always add thyme, but I do like a little lemon zest on top. My own photo.
