Instructions:

- 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.
- 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.
- Place the thinly sliced figs on top of the ricotta cheese, arranging them evenly.
- Sprinkle the toasted sesame seeds over the figs to add a bit of crunch and extra flavor.
- 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.
