Indulge in a nutritious and flavorful toasted whole-wheat fig sandwich with creamy ricotta and a hint of nutty sesame seeds. This delightful combination of ingredients not only offers a delicious taste but also packs a punch of nutrients, making it a perfect choice for a healthy snack or light meal.

Ingredients:

1 slice whole-wheat bread
27g
1 tsp sesame seeds
4g
1/4 cup ricotta cheese
60g
2 figs
16g
1 tsp sesame butter
5g

Instructions:

1. Toast the Bread:
- Place the whole-wheat bread slice in a toaster or on a hot skillet over medium heat.
- Toast until it is golden brown and slightly crispy, about 2-3 minutes each side if using a skillet.
2. Prepare the Sesame Seeds:
- While the bread is toasting, lightly toast the sesame seeds in a small pan over medium heat.
- Stir constantly for about 1-2 minutes until they begin to slightly brown and become fragrant. Be careful not to burn them.
3. Assemble the Sandwich:
- Once the bread is toasted, spread the sesame butter evenly over one side of the slice.
- Spread the ricotta cheese over the sesame butter layer, ensuring it covers the entire slice.
4. Add the Figs:
- Place the thinly sliced figs on top of the ricotta cheese, arranging them evenly.
5. Garnish:
- Sprinkle the toasted sesame seeds over the figs to add a bit of crunch and extra flavor.
6. Serve:
- Cut the sandwich in half if desired, and serve immediately while the bread is still warm.

Tips:

- Make sure to toast the whole-wheat bread until it's crispy and golden to enhance its flavor and texture.

- Use fresh, ripe figs for the best taste and natural sweetness.

- For a smoother spread, warm the sesame butter slightly before spreading it on the toast.

- Add a drizzle of honey for extra sweetness if desired.

- You can also sprinkle a pinch of sea salt over the sandwich to balance the flavors.

This toasted whole-wheat fig sandwich with ricotta and sesame seeds is a simple yet delicious recipe that combines wholesome ingredients for a balanced and tasty treat.
