Ingredients
Scale
Bread and Cheese
- 2 slices crusty bread (like sourdough or baguette)
- ½ cup ricotta cheese
- 1 teaspoon olive oil
Strawberries and Toppings
- 1 cup fresh strawberries, halved or quartered
- 1 tablespoon honey (plus more for drizzling)
- 1 teaspoon balsamic vinegar
- ½ teaspoon fresh thyme leaves
- Pinch salt
- Pinch black pepper
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) to prepare for roasting the strawberries.
- Toss Strawberries: In a bowl, combine the halved or quartered strawberries with honey, balsamic vinegar, and a pinch of salt. Mix thoroughly to coat the strawberries evenly.
- Roast Strawberries: Spread the strawberry mixture evenly on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Roast in the preheated oven for 15–20 minutes until the strawberries become soft, juicy, and slightly caramelized, enhancing their natural sweetness.
- Whip Ricotta: In a small bowl, whip the ricotta cheese with olive oil and a pinch of salt until it becomes smooth and fluffy, ensuring a creamy texture for the toast.
- Toast Bread: Toast the slices of crusty bread in a skillet or toaster until golden brown and crisp for a perfect base.
- Assemble Toasts: Spread a generous layer of the whipped ricotta evenly on each slice of toasted bread.
- Add Strawberries: Spoon the warm roasted strawberries over the ricotta spread, allowing their juices to mingle with the creamy base.
- Finish and Serve: Drizzle additional honey over the top if desired, then sprinkle fresh thyme leaves and a pinch of black pepper. Serve immediately to enjoy the contrast of warm strawberries and creamy ricotta on crisp toast.
Notes
- Use ripe, but firm strawberries for the best roasting results.
- The whipped ricotta can be prepared in advance and kept refrigerated for up to one day.
- For a vegan alternative, substitute ricotta with a plant-based cheese and honey with maple syrup.
- Adjust the amount of honey according to desired sweetness.
- Serve immediately after assembling to prevent the bread from becoming soggy.
