Description
A delicious and indulgent toast topped with roasted strawberries and whipped ricotta cheese, perfect for breakfast or a snack.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups fresh strawberries, hulled and halved
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup ricotta cheese
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 4 slices of thick-cut bread (such as sourdough or whole grain)
- Fresh mint leaves for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- In a bowl, toss the halved strawberries with olive oil, honey, and vanilla extract until well coated. Spread the strawberries on a baking sheet in a single layer.
- Roast the strawberries in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until they are soft and caramelized. Remove from the oven and let cool slightly.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the ricotta cheese and salt. Use a hand mixer or a whisk to whip the ricotta until it is smooth and creamy.
- Toast the slices of bread until golden brown and crispy.
- Spread a generous layer of whipped ricotta on each slice of toast. Top with the roasted strawberries.
- Garnish with fresh mint leaves if desired. Serve immediately.
Notes
- For a sweeter touch, drizzle additional honey over the top of the toast before serving.
- Swap out strawberries for other seasonal fruits like peaches or blueberries for a different flavor profile.
