Ingredients
Scale
- 1 thick slice sourdough or your favorite bread
- 3 tablespoons cream cheese, softened
- 2–3 fresh figs, sliced
- 1–2 teaspoons honey for drizzling
- 1 tablespoon pumpkin seeds or chopped nuts
- 1 tablespoon blueberry compote or jam (optional)
- Pinch of crushed pistachios (optional)
Instructions
- Toast the Bread: Toast your bread until golden and crisp around the edges. A sturdy toast helps hold all the toppings.
- Whip the Cream Cheese: Add softened cream cheese to a small bowl and whip with a spoon or hand mixer until smooth and fluffy.
- Spread the Base: Spread a thick layer of whipped cream cheese over the warm toast, covering edge to edge.
- Add the Blueberry Compote (Optional): Add a spoonful of blueberry compote and spread lightly for extra sweetness and color.
- Layer the Figs: Arrange the fig slices neatly over the toast to ensure each bite is balanced and flavorful.
- Add Crunch: Sprinkle pumpkin seeds, nuts, or pistachios across the top for texture.
- Finishing Touch: Drizzle with honey to give the toast a warm, sweet finish.
Notes
For the best texture, serve immediately after assembling. Swap figs for berries or peaches when out of season. Use maple syrup instead of honey if preferred.
