Ingredients
Scale
Bread
- 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
Ricotta Spread
- ½ cup ricotta cheese
- 1 teaspoon olive oil
- Pinch salt
- Pinch black pepper
- ½ teaspoon fresh thyme leaves
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your 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 gently to coat the strawberries evenly.
- Roast Strawberries: Spread the coated strawberries on a parchment-lined baking sheet and roast them in the preheated oven for 15–20 minutes until they become soft, juicy, and slightly caramelized.
- Whip Ricotta: While the strawberries roast, place the ricotta cheese in a small bowl. Add olive oil and a pinch of salt, then whip the mixture using a fork or whisk until it is smooth and fluffy.
- Toast the Bread: Toast the bread slices in a skillet over medium heat or use a toaster until they are golden and crisp.
- Assemble Toast: Spread a generous layer of the whipped ricotta onto each slice of toasted bread.
- Add Strawberries: Spoon the warm roasted strawberries on top of the ricotta spread.
- Finish and Serve: Drizzle additional honey over the top if desired, then sprinkle fresh thyme leaves and a pinch of black pepper. Serve immediately for the best flavor.
Notes
- Use ripe, fresh strawberries for the best sweetness and flavor in the roasted topping.
- If you prefer a vegan version, substitute ricotta cheese with a plant-based ricotta alternative.
- Adjust the amount of honey depending on your desired sweetness level.
- To enhance the toast’s flavor, lightly brush the bread with olive oil before toasting.
- Fresh thyme can be replaced with basil or mint for a different herbal note.
