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
Garnish
- 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, combine the fresh strawberries with honey, balsamic vinegar, and a pinch of salt. Mix gently to coat the berries evenly.
- Roast Strawberries: Spread the coated strawberries on a parchment-lined baking sheet and roast in the preheated oven for 15–20 minutes until they become soft, juicy, and slightly caramelized.
- Whip Ricotta: While the strawberries roast, place ricotta cheese in a small bowl and whip it together with olive oil and a pinch of salt until smooth and fluffy.
- Toast Bread: Toast the slices of bread in a skillet or toaster until they turn golden brown and crisp.
- Assemble Toast: Generously spread the whipped ricotta over each slice of toasted bread.
- Add Strawberries: Spoon the warm roasted strawberries on top of the ricotta-covered toast and drizzle additional honey if desired.
- Garnish and Serve: Finish the toasts by sprinkling fresh thyme leaves and a pinch of black pepper. Serve immediately for best taste and texture.
Notes
- You can use other crusty breads like ciabatta or multigrain for different texture and flavor.
- For a vegan alternative, substitute ricotta with a plant-based cheese or whipped tofu.
- Adjust the amount of honey according to your preferred sweetness level.
- Fresh thyme can be swapped with basil or mint for a different herbaceous note.
- Leftover roasted strawberries can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and used as a topping for yogurt or desserts.
