I’m still playing with fig recipes. One of my absolute favorites is a classic recipe that requires only four ingredients. If you’ve never had figs with cream cheese or mascarpone with honey and thyme, maybe it’s time you tried it.
Three of the four ingredients are always available, and of course, the figs are seasonal, and their season is now. So here’s your chance to try this classic.
Fig Tartines with Mascarpone
For Each Serving
- 2 slices of good bread
- 2 Tbsp mascarpone cheese
- 2 figs
- 1 tsp fresh thyme leaves
- 1 Tbsp honey
Lightly toast the bread, then spread the cheese on each piece. Cut the figs cross-wise and arrange on toast. Sprinkle thyme over figs, then drizzle with honey.
Indulge. Serves 1.
