Description

This Roasted Strawberry Whipped Ricotta Toast recipe combines the natural sweetness and slight tartness of roasted strawberries with the creamy, smooth texture of whipped ricotta cheese. Served on toasted crusty bread and optionally garnished with fresh herbs and a drizzle of honey, this delightful dish is perfect for breakfast, brunch, or a light snack.

Ingredients

Roasted Strawberries

  • 1 pint fresh strawberries, hulled and sliced
  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • 1 teaspoon balsamic vinegar
  • Pinch of salt

Whipped Ricotta

  • 1 cup ricotta cheese
  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

Toast and Garnishes

  • 4 slices of crusty bread, toasted
  • Fresh thyme or basil leaves (optional)
  • Extra honey for drizzling

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prepare for roasting the strawberries.
  2. Prepare Strawberries: In a medium bowl, gently toss the sliced strawberries with 1 tablespoon honey, balsamic vinegar, and a pinch of salt ensuring they are evenly coated.
  3. Arrange Strawberries: Spread the coated strawberries in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet to ensure even roasting.
  4. Roast Strawberries: Place in the oven and roast for 20-25 minutes until the strawberries become soft, slightly caramelized, and their flavors are concentrated. Remove and allow them to cool.
  5. Whip Ricotta: In a separate medium bowl, combine ricotta cheese, 1 tablespoon honey, and vanilla extract. Using a hand mixer or a whisk, whip the mixture until it becomes smooth and creamy with a light texture.
  6. Toast Bread: Toast the crusty bread slices to your preferred level of crispness to provide a sturdy base for the toppings.
  7. Assemble Toast: Generously spread a layer of the whipped ricotta evenly over each toasted bread slice, creating a creamy base layer.
  8. Add Roasted Strawberries: Top each ricotta-coated toast with a spoonful of the roasted strawberries, distributing the fruit evenly.
  9. Garnish: If desired, garnish each toast with fresh thyme or basil leaves to add a fresh herbal note and visual appeal.
  10. Drizzle Honey: Finish by drizzling extra honey over the assembled toasts for added sweetness and shine before serving.

Notes

  • For a vegan option, substitute ricotta with a plant-based cream cheese alternative and use maple syrup instead of honey.
  • Use fresh, ripe strawberries for the best flavor and sweetness.
  • Leftover roasted strawberries can be stored refrigerated for up to 3 days and used as a topping for yogurt or pancakes.
  • If you prefer a tangier twist, add a small amount of lemon zest to the whipped ricotta.
  • The toasts are best served fresh to maintain the crispiness of the bread.
