Instructions

1. Prepare the herby zesty ricotta: In a bowl, combine the ricotta cheese, chopped fresh herbs, lemon zest, salt, and pepper. Mix well and refrigerate until needed.

2. Make the caramelized onion: Heat olive oil and butter in a large skillet over medium-low heat. Add the thinly sliced onions and cook, stirring occasionally, for about 30-40 minutes or until the onions are soft, caramelized, and golden brown. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Set aside to cool.

3. Assemble the phyllo cup canapé: Fill each phyllo cup with a spoonful of the herby zesty ricotta. Top the ricotta with a small spoonful of caramelized onions. Finish by adding a dollop of fig jam on top. Garnish with fresh herbs and sea salt if desired.
