A quick and delicious toast featuring airy whipped ricotta, caramelized roasted strawberries, and a spicy-sweet drizzle of hot honey, perfect for brunch or a sweet snack.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup (250g) whole milk ricotta, well-drained
  • 2 tablespoons heavy cream
  • 1 teaspoon lemon zest
  • Pinch of sea salt
  • 1 cup (150g) fresh strawberries, hulled and halved
  • 1 teaspoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon honey (regular) for roasting
  • Pinch of cinnamon
  • Pinch of sea salt for strawberries
  • 4 thick slices crusty bread or sourdough, toasted
  • Hot honey for drizzling (e.g., Bee Local Hot Honey)
  • Freshly ground black pepper (optional)
  • Mint leaves for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Hull and halve about 1 cup (150g) of fresh strawberries. In a bowl, toss them gently with 1 teaspoon olive oil, 1 teaspoon honey, a pinch of cinnamon, and a tiny pinch of sea salt. Spread them evenly on the baking sheet.
  3. Roast the strawberries in the oven for 15-18 minutes, until soft, slightly caramelized, and fragrant. Watch carefully to avoid burning; they should look glossy and tender.
  4. While strawberries roast, whip the ricotta: In a mixing bowl, combine 1 cup (250g) well-drained whole milk ricotta, 2 tablespoons heavy cream, 1 teaspoon lemon zest, and a pinch of sea salt. Use an electric mixer or whisk vigorously until light, fluffy, and smooth, about 3-5 minutes.
  5. Toast 4 thick slices of bread until golden and crispy on the edges but still soft inside, about 3-5 minutes.
  6. Spread a generous layer of whipped ricotta evenly on each toast slice.
  7. Spoon the warm roasted strawberries on top, including some of the syrupy juices.
  8. Drizzle each toast lightly with hot honey.
  9. Optionally, add a crack of fresh black pepper or a few small mint leaves for freshness.
  10. Serve immediately for best texture contrast.

Notes

Drain excess moisture from ricotta before whipping for best fluffiness. Watch roasting time carefully to avoid drying strawberries. Use thick bread slices to prevent sogginess. Adjust hot honey drizzle to taste. Can substitute dairy-free ricotta and maple syrup with chili flakes for vegan version.
