Ricotta Crostini With Figs, Prosciutto, And Honey

• 1 1/2 cups whole-milk ricotta
• 2 tablespoons heavy cream
• Zest of 1/2 lemon (optional)
• 1/4 teaspoon salt, plus more for seasoning
• Freshly ground black pepper
• 1 baguette, sliced
• Olive oil
• 1-2 dozen figs (black or green-whatever you can find that looks ripe and delicious)
• 1/2 pound thinly sliced prosciutto
• 1/4 cup honey
• 4-6 sprigs fresh thyme
• Flaky sea salt

1. Whisk the ricotta, heavy cream, and zest if using in a mixing bowl until combined. Add in the 1/4 teaspoon of salt and a few cranks of black pepper. Taste the ricotta and adjust the seasoning as necessary.
2. Preheat the oven to 425u0b0F. Lay the baguette slices out on a sheet pan and drizzle each with a little olive oil. Toast until they are golden brown, about 6 minutes.
3. Slice the figs into rounds discarding any hard tips. Spread the ricotta mixture over the toasted baguette slices and layer 1 piece of prosciutto and 1-2 fig rounds per crostini. Drizzle each crostini with honey and season with thyme leaves, freshly cracked black pepper, and flaky sea salt.
