Ingredients
Scale
Toast
- 2 slices crusty bread (like sourdough or baguette)
Roasted Strawberries
- 1 cup fresh strawberries, halved or quartered
- 1 tablespoon honey (plus more for drizzling)
- 1 teaspoon balsamic vinegar
- Pinch salt
Whipped Ricotta
- ½ cup ricotta cheese
- 1 teaspoon olive oil
- Pinch salt
Garnishes
- ½ teaspoon fresh thyme leaves
- Pinch black pepper
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) to prepare for roasting the strawberries.
- Toss Strawberries: In a bowl, toss the halved or quartered strawberries with honey, balsamic vinegar, and a pinch of salt to enhance their natural sweetness and depth.
- Roast Strawberries: Spread the strawberries evenly on a parchment-lined baking sheet and roast them in the preheated oven for 15–20 minutes until they are soft, juicy, and slightly caramelized.
- Whip Ricotta: Meanwhile, in a small bowl, whip the ricotta cheese with olive oil and a pinch of salt until the mixture is smooth, creamy, and fluffy.
- Toast Bread: Toast the slices of bread in a skillet or toaster until they turn golden brown and become crisp to perfectly complement the creamy ricotta and juicy strawberries.
- Assemble Toast: Generously spread the whipped ricotta onto each slice of toasted bread to form a creamy base.
- Add Strawberries: Top the ricotta with the warm roasted strawberries, allowing their juices to mingle with the cheese.
- Finish and Serve: Drizzle additional honey over the assembly if desired, sprinkle with fresh thyme leaves and a pinch of black pepper, and serve immediately for the best flavor and texture.
Notes
- Use fresh, ripe strawberries for the best natural sweetness and flavor.
- Adjust honey quantity to taste depending on the sweetness of your strawberries.
- For a vegan version, substitute ricotta with a plant-based creamy cheese alternative.
- Serve immediately to enjoy the contrast of warm strawberries and creamy whipped ricotta on crisp toast.
- Fresh thyme can be substituted with basil or mint for a different herbal note.
