Ingredients
Scale
Roasted Strawberries:
- 2 cups strawberries
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 tablespoon honey
Whipped Ricotta:
- 1 cup whole milk ricotta cheese
- 2 tablespoons heavy cream
- ¼ teaspoon salt
Toast Base:
- 2 slices sourdough bread
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper for even roasting.
- Slice 1 cup of fresh strawberries into halves, spreading them evenly across the prepared baking sheet.
- Drizzle 1 tablespoon of olive oil and sprinkle 1 tablespoon of sugar over the strawberries, ensuring each piece gets coated.
- Roast the strawberries in the 400°F oven for 15-20 minutes until they become soft and caramelized around the edges.
- While strawberries roast, transfer 1 cup of ricotta cheese into a mixing bowl and whip with an electric mixer for 2-3 minutes until smooth and creamy.
- Add 1 tablespoon of honey and ½ teaspoon of vanilla extract to the whipped ricotta, blending until fully incorporated.
- Toast 2 thick slices of sourdough bread until golden brown and crispy on the edges.
- Spread the whipped ricotta generously across each piece of warm toast.
- Carefully arrange the roasted strawberries on top of the ricotta, creating an attractive arrangement.
- Optional: Sprinkle a pinch of fresh thyme leaves or cracked black pepper over the toast for an extra layer of flavor.
- Serve immediately to enjoy the warm, creamy toast with its sweet, caramelized strawberries.
Notes
- Roasting strawberries concentrates their sweetness and creates a deeper, more complex flavor profile for your toast.
- Choose fresh, ripe strawberries for the best results and slice them evenly to ensure uniform roasting.
- Let the ricotta come to room temperature before whipping to achieve a smoother, lighter texture that spreads easily.
- If avoiding dairy, substitute ricotta with cashew or almond-based cream cheese for a plant-based alternative that maintains a similar creamy consistency.
