Fancy Toasts

Sliced bread (I like ciabatta bread) 
1 cup ricotta cheese
splash of milk
salt and pepper
Baby spinach leaves
1/2 onion, sliced
handfull of dried apricots
handfull of dried dates or figs
white wine
red wine


In a small bowl, combine cheese, milk, salt, and pepper. Stir until completely combined. Taste to see if it needs more salt and pepper. 

In a pan, saute onions with oil until they are soft and caramelized. 

In a pot, pour two cups of white wine and bring to a boil. Add apricots and boil for 10 minutes. Drain the apricots and slice them into thin slices. (If you want you can save the wine - once it's cold, it is delicious!)

Do the same thing with the red wine and figs. 

Lay out all the ingredients on a board. 


Toast the bread. Spread cheese on the toast. Add onions, apricot and spinach to some of the toasts. Add onions, figs and spinach to others.
