Ingredients
Scale
Cinnamon Butter
- 1/4 cup Pure Blends plant-based butter (avocado oil or coconut oil based)
- 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
- 2 tablespoons maple syrup
- 1/16 teaspoon cardamom (optional)
Breakfast Fig Toast
- 8 slices sourdough bread
- 8-10 fresh figs, sliced into rounds
- Roasted pistachios, crushed (about 2 tablespoons)
- Flaky sea salt, to taste
- Fresh mint, finely cut (about 1 tablespoon)
Instructions
- Prepare Cinnamon Butter: In a sealable container, whisk together the plant-based butter, vanilla extract, cinnamon, maple syrup, and optional cardamom until smooth and well combined. Taste and adjust the seasonings if desired. Seal the container and refrigerate until ready to use.
- Toast Bread: Toast the slices of sourdough bread until they reach your preferred golden-brown crispness using a toaster or toaster oven.
- Assemble Fig Toast: Spread about 1/2 tablespoon of the cinnamon butter evenly on each warm slice of toast. Layer the sliced fresh figs on top, then sprinkle crushed roasted pistachios and flaky sea salt over each piece.
- Garnish and Serve: Finish by scattering finely cut fresh mint leaves over the toasts. Serve immediately and enjoy this delightful breakfast.
Notes
- Ensure your figs are ripe for the best flavor; ripe figs are soft, slightly squishy, and may have a little sap at the bottom.
- You can substitute sourdough bread with other hearty breads like whole wheat or multigrain for a different texture.
- The cinnamon butter can be made ahead and stored refrigerated for up to one week.
- Adjust maple syrup amount in cinnamon butter for desired sweetness.
- If cardamom is unavailable, you can omit it without compromising flavor.
