I agree with some others - this is rather bland. Maybe some cinnamon mixed into the ricotta would liven it up?? Any other suggestions welcome as I would like to see this idea work.

A delicious, but different appetizer. Also works nicely substituting pears for those anti-fig eaters (what is wrong with them?)

Elegant and impressive. I made these for a family dinner and there were none leftover. I followed the recipe exactly except I put the figs into a processer and pulsed until chopped fine. It made this so much easier to eat these two bite crostinis. Use good balsamic vinegar, it makes all the difference. LOVED this recipe.

I recommend this to everyone. I just had a cocktail party for 45 people and everyone loved these. The basil leaf sliver added the perfect taste to this.

I have never tried figs before, and bought them on a whim at the grocer - this was a recipe I found that sounded tasty...but it actually did not have very much flavor. I used a lot of balsamic vinegar drizzled on top, and even tossed the diced figs in olive oil, but it was just ok. It certainly looked pretty, though!
