This toast is so divine, it will blow your mind. In a tribute to our local, fabulous Oat Bakery, we give you the toastest with the mostest. It is truly a summer sensation.

Lightly toast a slice of your favorite bread, And we mean, your fave! Hopefully, you have a sliceable loaf of something that you LOVE  and can cut it on the thicker side. Our bakery uses a pullman loaf of their whole wheat.

Now we know this next step is decadence upon decadence, but butter your toast fresh out of the toaster. Our bakery keeps a giant mound of European butter like something you would see at the county fair ready for the butter sculping contest.

Next comes a drizzle of hot honey. Not honey that has been warmed. We are talking, hot, slightly sizzily-spiced, HOT honey.

Then smear on a layer of fresh ricotta. Our bakery makes their own, but this would probably be asking too much if we suggested you layer your toast with homemade ricotta. So just find a good one. We know in life you have to make concessions somewhere, but given this is a big feature, please find a really delicious, creamy ricotta. 

The next step is to slice fresh figs in halves or quarters depending on what your toast will hold beautifully. Then drizzle with a bit more hot honey. Yes, we said it.

For the final touch. Sprinkle your toast with freshly grated lemon zest, toasted pumpkin seeds, and a touch of flaky sea salt.

And now, we think it would be best if you were sitting down for the final, final step. Swooning while you eat your toast.

Enjoy this summer toast sensation. It’s a feast for the eyes and the taste buds. Bon appetite.
