Fig, Walnut & Honey Toast Recipe + Late Summer Produce Picks

Late summer is prime time for figs among other fresh produce.

Figs come in a variety of varieties from the green and yellow striped tiger figs to the common Black Mission Figs you’ll find in supermarkets.

Fresh figs are an excellent source of fiber and flavor. They are naturally sweet and pair well with tangy goat cheese or ricotta – as I’m using here. The walnuts add a necessary crunch and boost of healthy fats to this easy breakfast recipe.

In this US News & World Report post, I share 8 of the best summer produce picks including these figs, grapes, okra and more. Get the details over on the Eat & Run Blog right now.

And if you’re wondering about this recipe, it’s another one of my no-recipe recipes. To make this Fig, Walnut & Honey Toast just spread ricotta cheese on your favorite toast. Top with sliced fresh figs, walnuts and a drizzle of honey. It’s a perfect summer breakfast!
