PRESENTATION
Cheese lovers already know how good “cheese with pears” is, but perhaps not everyone knows another tasty combination like the one with figs. After the stuffed figs, accompanied by ham and robiola cheese, and the fig sandwich, filled with speck and squacquerone cheese, we ventured into a delicious and quick appetizer: fig crostini, a tasty alternative to the classic tomato bruschetta, perfect for enriching summer buffets. A first crunchy layer of toasted bread serves as the base for a velvety ricotta cream, topped with fig slices and chopped walnuts. An enticing mix of flavors and textures that will spark your curiosity and your appetite!

Preparation
How to prepare Fig Crostini
To make the fig crostini, first cut the slices of bread in half 1 and toast them on a very hot grill 2. Separately, chop the walnuts 3.
Wash and dry the figs, cut off the top part 4 and divide each half into 6 wedges 5: you will thus obtain 12 fig slices 6.
Now prepare the cream: in the bowl of a mixer, add the ricotta 7, the cream 8 and season with pepper and salt. Blend everything to obtain a soft and homogeneous cream 9.
Transfer the cream into a piping bag with no nozzle 10 and squeeze it onto the toasted crostini 11, then place 3 fig slices on each crostino 12
arranging them on top of the cream 13. Flavor to taste with fennel 14 and garnish with the chopped walnuts 15.
Finish with a pinch of pepper 16, a drizzle of olive oil 17, and serve your fig crostini immediately 18.
