A delightful recipe for Lemon Blueberry Ricotta Toast with Honey, perfect for breakfast or a snack.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups fresh blueberries
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon lemon zest
- 1 cup ricotta cheese
- 2 tablespoons honey, plus extra for drizzling
- 4 slices of whole grain or sourdough bread
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- Pinch of salt
- Fresh mint leaves for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- In a small bowl, combine the fresh blueberries, lemon juice, and lemon zest. Gently mash the blueberries with a fork to release some juices, then set aside to marinate for about 10 minutes.
- While the blueberries are marinating, preheat your oven to 400°F. Place the slices of bread on a baking sheet and brush each side lightly with olive oil.
- Toast the bread in the oven for about 5-7 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden brown and crispy.
- In a separate bowl, mix the ricotta cheese with 2 tablespoons of honey and a pinch of salt until smooth and creamy.
- Once the bread is toasted, spread a generous layer of the ricotta mixture on each slice.
- Top the ricotta with the marinated blueberries, ensuring an even distribution.
- Drizzle a little extra honey over the top for added sweetness, and garnish with fresh mint leaves if desired.
- Serve immediately and enjoy your delicious toast!
Notes
- For a nutty flavor, sprinkle some chopped almonds or walnuts on top before serving.
- Substitute the blueberries with strawberries or raspberries for a different fruity twist.
