Ingredients

1 thick slice sourdough or country bread
1 tbsp salted butter, at room temperature
2 tbsp fig jam, dark, white or mixed
pinch flaky salt, optional

Equipment

Toaster or grill

Method

Toast the bread until the surface is deeply golden and the middle is still soft.
Spread the butter right to the edges while the toast is hot so it melts in.
Spoon on the jam and spread it thickly. Finish with a pinch of flaky salt if you like the contrast.

Notes

Ricotta or fresh goat cheese under the jam turns this into something closer to lunch.
