Bonjour everyone!
I wanted to share with you a quick and simple recipe: whipped feta cheese, figs, honey, dill and mint on toast.
Figs are in season from late Summer to early Autumn, and I love toasts (or "tartines" as the French call them), so I've decided to whip up (pun intended) this delicious treat, great for breakfast or brunch.
Ingredients (serves 2):
- 1 soft fig
- 2 slices of bread of your choice ( I've used "pain de campagne")
- 100g of crumbled feta cheese
- 100g of water
- 1 tsp of honey
- 1 tbsp chopped mint
- 1 tbsp chopped dill
Method:
- Put the feta in a food processor, add the water and blend until you get a creamy texture, but not smooth. (I think it's more interesting to have small bits of feta left, as it gives some texture).
- Toast the slices of bread in your oven or a toaster
- Cut your fig into 6 slices (from top to bottom) Place them on a baking tray and bake them for 5 minutes at 170°C. (Figs have a lot of sugar, so no need to add some when roasting them).
- Spread your whipped feta on the toasted bread slices.
- Add 3 slices of figs on each toast.
- Sprinkle the chopped mint and dill.
- Drizzle the honey on top.
Bon appétit!
@eloiseariel Thank you! I would suggest pomegranate or orange, peach would have been good too, but probably to late.
Looks so yummy and easy!! Fresh figs aren’t always easy to get here. Any other fruit suggestions?
OMG simplemente fabuloso!
Thank you @cjordanandco , it was delicious. I love the saltiness of the feta with the sweetness of the fig and honey.
Looks scrumptious. Well done, Chef Pierre!
