ThemedBreakfastMediterraneanNo-cookYogurtSummerQuick
Ingredients
- 2 cups full-fat Greek yogurt
- 6 fresh ripe figs
- 3 tbsp honey
- 1/4 cup toasted walnuts
- 1 tsp lemon zest
- 1 tsp extra-virgin olive oil
- 8 fresh mint leaves
- 1/8 tsp pinch flaky sea salt
Instructions
- 1Spoon cold full-fat Greek yogurt into each of two shallow bowls, swirling the back of the spoon to create a slight well in the center for toppings.
- 2Rinse fresh ripe figs under cool water, pat them completely dry with a clean towel, then trim the stems and quarter each fig lengthwise so the rosy interiors show.
- 3Arrange 6 fig quarters artfully over each bowl of yogurt, nestling them into the well so they sit upright and look abundant.
- 4Drizzle 1½ tablespoons of honey in a slow spiral over the figs and yogurt in each bowl, letting some drip down the sides for a glossy finish.
- 5Roughly chop the toasted walnuts if whole, then scatter over each bowl for crunch and nutty contrast.
- 6Finely grate fresh lemon zest directly over both bowls (about ½ tsp each) so the bright citrus oils perfume the yogurt.
- 7Tear the fresh mint leaves into small pieces with your fingers and sprinkle them evenly across the tops for a cool herbal note.
- 8Finish each bowl with a tiny drizzle of extra-virgin olive oil (½ tsp) and a light pinch of flaky sea salt to balance the sweetness.
- 9Serve immediately while the yogurt is still cold and the figs are at peak juiciness; stir gently at the table if desired.
