Grilled figs with ricotta and honeycomb on toasted fruit bread

Honeycomb is the structure made of beeswax that houses the honey; this edible chewy comb, saturated with honey, is absolutely delicious and available in health food stores and some supermarkets.

Ingredients

8 fresh figs (650g), halved

1 tablespoon brown sugar

500 gram loaf fruit bread

2 cup (400g) ricotta cheese

150 gram honeycomb, sliced thickly

2 tablespoon honey

Method

1.Preheat grill.

2.Place figs, cut-side up, on oven tray; sprinkle with sugar. Cook under hot grill about 5 minutes or until sugar melts and figs are browned lightly.

3.Cut bread into 1cm slices; toast both sides under hot grill.

4.Divide toast among serving plates; top each serving with equal amounts of ricotta and honeycomb, then top with two fig halves and drizzle with honey.

Walnut or almond bread can be substituted for the fruit loaf, if you prefer. Serve with a bowl of chopped pineapple, apple and orange segments.
