Take 4 slices of sourdough bread, at least 2 cm thick each.
Lightly brush with olive oil and place under the hot oven broiler, cook for a few minutes until golden brown.
Let cool down, otherwise your ricotta will melt immediately.
Choose ripe, but still consistent figs.
Cut into wedges, arrange on a baking sheet.
Sprinkle it with brown sugar and burn using a blow torch.
The sugar should caramelize and become crunchy.
Cover the bread with a generous cloud of whipped ricotta, arrange the caramelized figs nicely.
Complete with honey, extra virgin olive oil, fresh pollen, a pinch of salt and lemon thyme.
Serve immediately. Served here on our medium Green Grapes oval plate.
