Figs with orange ricotta and honey

When the fig season starts in the late Summer you can still enjoy and sunshine whilst munching on this delicious fruit! I like baking/grilling them  and serve them with Greek yoghurt and honey. This time I had some ricotta in my fridge, orange blossom honey in the cupboard so I created this quick recipe. These Figs with orange ricotta and honey were perfect for my weekend breakfast, but I would be happy serving the dish as a dessert too! During the festive season I’d add a few drops of Cointreau Liqueur too!
