Ingredients
Scale
Toast
- 4 slices of crusty bread (such as sourdough or multigrain)
Ricotta Mixture
- 1 cup ricotta cheese
- 1 tablespoon lemon zest
- Pinch of sea salt
Blueberry Topping
- 1 cup fresh blueberries
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 2–3 tablespoons honey (plus more for drizzling)
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh mint (optional)
Instructions
- Toast the bread: Toast the 4 slices of crusty bread in a toaster or toaster oven until they are golden brown and crisp. This provides a sturdy base for the toppings.
- Prepare the ricotta mixture: In a small bowl, combine the ricotta cheese, lemon zest, and a pinch of sea salt. Mix until the ricotta is smooth and creamy with the bright citrus flavor evenly incorporated.
- Toss the blueberries: In another bowl, gently toss the fresh blueberries with lemon juice and 1 tablespoon of honey. This sweetens and brightens the berries, making them a perfect topping.
- Assemble the toast: Spread a generous layer of the lemon-ricotta mixture evenly over each toasted slice of bread. Next, spoon the honeyed blueberries on top of the ricotta layer.
- Finish and serve: Drizzle additional honey over each toast for extra sweetness. Optionally sprinkle chopped fresh mint leaves on top for a fragrant hint. Serve immediately to enjoy a fresh, delicious breakfast or snack.
Notes
- For added texture and crunch, sprinkle chopped nuts like pistachios or almonds on top.
- Whipped cream cheese can be substituted for ricotta if you prefer a different creamy texture.
- This toast is best served immediately after assembling to maintain the perfect balance of crisp toast and fresh toppings.
