Roasted Strawberry Whipped Ricotta Toast (Printer-friendly)

Sweet roasted strawberries meet creamy whipped ricotta on crispy toast

# What You'll Need:

→ Roasted Strawberries

01 - 2 cups fresh strawberries, hulled and halved
02 - 2 tablespoons honey
03 - 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
04 - Pinch of sea salt

→ Whipped Ricotta

05 - 1 cup whole-milk ricotta cheese
06 - 2 tablespoons heavy cream
07 - 1 tablespoon honey
08 - Zest of 1 lemon
09 - Pinch of sea salt

→ Toast Assembly

10 - 4 thick slices crusty sourdough or country bread
11 - 1 tablespoon olive oil or unsalted butter
12 - Fresh mint leaves
13 - Additional honey for drizzling
14 - Crushed pistachios or toasted almonds

# How To Make It:

01 - Preheat oven to 400°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
02 - Toss strawberries with honey, vanilla extract, and sea salt on the prepared baking sheet. Spread in a single layer and roast for 20-25 minutes until soft and syrupy. Set aside to cool slightly.
03 - Combine ricotta, heavy cream, honey, lemon zest, and salt in a medium bowl. Using a handheld mixer or whisk, whip until light and fluffy, about 2 minutes.
04 - Brush bread slices lightly with olive oil or butter. Toast in a skillet over medium heat or under a broiler until golden and crisp.
05 - Spread a generous layer of whipped ricotta on each toast. Top with roasted strawberries and their juices.
06 - Garnish with mint leaves, a drizzle of honey, and nuts if desired. Serve immediately.

# Expert Hints:

01 -
  • The contrast between warm, jammy strawberries and cool, creamy ricotta hits every texture craving at once
  • It looks restaurant-fancy but comes together in under 40 minutes with zero actual cooking skills required
02 -
  • The ricotta mixture can be made up to two days ahead and stored in the refrigerator, but give it a quick re-whip before serving
  • If your strawberries are not very sweet to begin with, add an extra tablespoon of honey before roasting
03 -
  • If the ricotta feels grainy, push it through a fine-mesh sieve before whipping
  • Room temperature strawberries roast more evenly than cold ones straight from the fridge
