['4 sheets phyllo dough, thawed according to package directions', '3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted, divided', '4 teaspoons sugar, divided', '1 1/2 cups part-skim ricotta', '1/4 cup sugar', 'Zest of 2 lemons', 'Fresh lemon juice', '1 cup balsamic vinegar', '1 tablespoon sugar', '16 black mission figs, sliced', 'Freshly ground black pepper', '1 tablespoon pine nuts', 'toasted 10 minutes in a cast-iron skillet']
Heat oven to 325°F.
Brush a large, shallow baking sheet with some butter and lay 1 phyllo sheet on top. (Cover remaining phyllo with a damp cloth.) Brush phyllo with butter and sprinkle on 1 teaspoon sugar. Layer another phyllo sheet on top and press down. Repeat layering until you use all sheets, ending with 1 teaspoon sugar on top. Cut phyllo stack into 32 equal squares. Bake until squares are golden brown and crisp, 15 to 17 minutes.
Mix ricotta, sugar, lemon zest and a pinch of salt; add lemon juice to taste. Sauce: Bring vinegar and sugar to a boil in a small saucepan; continue to boil until reduced and slightly syrupy, 5 to 7 minutes. Assembly: Place a dab of ricotta mix on a plate. Top with 1 phyllo square, 1 tbsp ricotta and fig slices. Repeat for a total of 4 layers. Sprinkle with black pepper. Drizzle plate with balsamic reduction and scatter pine nuts around. Repeat.
