Description

This Roasted Strawberry Whipped Ricotta Toast is a delightful combination of sweet, tangy roasted strawberries paired with creamy whipped ricotta spread over toasted rustic bread. Finished with fresh thyme, this easy-to-make recipe is perfect for a flavorful breakfast or light snack that balances fresh fruitiness with rich, smooth cheese.


Ingredients

Scale

For the Roasted Strawberries:

  • 1 pound strawberries, ends removed
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • Juice of 1/2 lemon
  • 4 sprigs fresh thyme, plus extra for garnish

For the Toast:

  • 2 slices rustic bread, 1-inch thick
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil

For the Whipped Ricotta:

  • 3/4 cup whole milk ricotta cheese
  • Pinch of sea salt


Instructions

  1. Preheat the Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 400ยฐF (200ยฐC) to get it ready for roasting the strawberries.
  2. Prepare Strawberries: In a baking dish, combine the cleaned and trimmed strawberries with honey, lemon juice, and fresh thyme sprigs to infuse flavor as they roast.
  3. Roast Strawberries: Place the baking dish in the oven and roast the strawberries for 15 to 20 minutes, or until they become soft and slightly caramelized, releasing their natural sweetness.
  4. Whip Ricotta: While the strawberries roast, mix the whole milk ricotta cheese with a pinch of sea salt in a bowl until the texture is smooth and creamy.
  5. Toast Bread: Toast the rustic bread slices until they turn golden brown and crispy, either in a toaster or on a skillet with olive oil if preferred.
  6. Assemble the Toast: Spread a generous layer of whipped ricotta onto each toasted bread slice, top with the warm roasted strawberries, and garnish with extra fresh thyme for an aromatic finish.

Notes

  • You can substitute fresh thyme with basil or mint for different flavor profiles.
  • Adjust the amount of honey depending on your desired sweetness level.
  • For an added crunch, sprinkle some toasted nuts like almonds or pistachios on top.
  • This recipe works well with other types of rustic or sourdough bread.
  • Serve immediately to enjoy the contrast of warm strawberries and creamy ricotta on crisp toast.
