Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Slice figs in half and toss with olive oil and honey in a small bowl. Roast figs for 10 to 12 minutes until figs blister and become soft. Remove from oven and set aside while you make the avocado mousse.
- In the bowl of a food processor, puree avocados until smooth. Add lemon and salt and pulse to combine. Remove from bowl and top toasted sourdough with approximately 1/2 cup avocado puree per slice. Top with roasted figs, drizzle with honey if desires and top with large flake salt.
- Store any remaining mousse in a reusable container with all air bubbles removed, and top with a paper towel soaked in lemon juice. Mousse will keep up to two days.
Serving Suggestion: Serve for breakfast or afternoon snack.
