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, to taste
- Flaky sea salt, to taste
- Fresh mint, finely cut, to garnish
Instructions
- Prepare Cinnamon Butter: In a sealable container, whisk together the plant-based butter, vanilla extract, cinnamon, maple syrup, and optional cardamom until well combined. Taste and adjust the seasoning if desired. Seal the container and refrigerate until ready to use.
- Toast Bread: Toast the sourdough slices to your preferred golden level using a toaster or stovetop pan.
- Assemble Fig Toast: Spread about 1/2 tablespoon of the prepared cinnamon butter evenly onto each slice of toasted bread.
- Add Toppings: Arrange sliced fresh figs on top of the buttered toast, then sprinkle with crushed roasted pistachios, flaky sea salt to taste, and finely chopped fresh mint.
- Serve and Enjoy: Serve immediately for a fresh, flavorful breakfast experience.
Notes
- Ensure figs are ripe for the best flavor; ripe figs will be soft and may exude sap from the bottom.
- Plant-based butter options with avocado or coconut oil create smooth and creamy cinnamon butter with subtle flavor.
- Adjust the sweetness of the cinnamon butter by adding more or less maple syrup to taste.
- You can substitute sourdough bread with any rustic or whole grain bread of your choice.
- For extra texture, lightly toast the crushed pistachios before sprinkling.
