Description
Roasted Strawberry Ricotta Toast is a creamy, fruity toast made with honey balsamic strawberries, whipped ricotta, lemon zest, and crisp artisan bread. The berries turn soft and glossy in the oven, making this an easy 30 mins breakfast, brunch, or sweet snack.
Ingredients
- cup fresh strawberries, hulled and halved
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup whole milk ricotta cheese
- 1 tablespoon maple syrup
- 1 half teaspoon lemon zest
- 4 slices artisan bread, toasted
Instructions
- Preheat the oven: Heat the oven to 400°F.
- Season the strawberries: Place the strawberries on a small baking tray, then drizzle with honey and balsamic vinegar. Toss gently until coated.
- Roast the berries: Roast for 15 to 20 mins, until the strawberries are soft, glossy, and lightly caramelized. Let them cool slightly.
- Whip the ricotta: In a bowl, whip the ricotta with maple syrup, vanilla extract, and lemon zest until smooth and creamy.
- Build the toast: Spread a generous layer of whipped ricotta over each slice of toasted bread.
- Finish and serve: Top with warm roasted strawberries and spoon over any remaining juices. Serve right away while the toast is crisp.
Notes
- Use sturdy bread so the toast holds the ricotta and juicy berries without getting soggy.
- For smoother ricotta, let it sit at room temperature while the strawberries roast, then whip well before spreading.
- Store roasted strawberries and whipped ricotta separately in the fridge for up to 3 days. Assemble just before serving.
