Description
Golden toasted sourdough crowned with cloud-like whipped ricotta and jammy roasted strawberries, finished with a whisper of honey and mint. A bright, cozy brunch toast that feels indulgent yet effortless.
Ingredients
- Fresh strawberries: 2 cups, hulled and halved
- Whole milk ricotta: 1 cup
- Honey: 2 tablespoons, divided
- Pure vanilla extract: 1 teaspoon
- Extra-virgin olive oil: 1 tablespoon
- Thick-cut rustic or sourdough bread: 4 slices
- Fine sea salt: 1 pinch
- Fresh mint leaves: a few, torn or left whole for garnish
Instructions
- Preheat Your Equipment: Set the oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment.
- Combine Ingredients: In a bowl, toss the halved strawberries with olive oil, 1 tablespoon honey, and a pinch of sea salt until coated.
- Prepare Your Cooking Vessel: Spread the strawberries in a single layer on the lined baking sheet.
- Assemble the Dish: Roast for 18 to 20 minutes until soft and jammy, then set aside. Meanwhile, in a mixing bowl, whip ricotta with vanilla and remaining 1 tablespoon honey until smooth and fluffy.
- Cook to Perfection: Toast the bread slices in a toaster or oven until golden and crisp.
- Finishing Touches: Spread a generous layer of whipped ricotta over each toast, then spoon warm roasted strawberries on top.
- Serve and Enjoy: Garnish with mint, add an extra drizzle of honey if desired, and serve immediately.
Notes
- Note: Room-temperature ricotta whips faster and fluffier.
- Choose ripe, fragrant strawberries for the jammiest roast.
- For extra brightness, add a little lemon zest over the finished toast.
- Keep toast thick to resist moisture from the toppings.
