Description
A delightful treat featuring roasted strawberries and creamy whipped ricotta on toasted bread.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups fresh strawberries, hulled and halved
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup ricotta cheese
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 4 slices of thick bread (such as sourdough or ciabatta)
- Fresh mint leaves for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- In a medium bowl, toss the halved strawberries with olive oil and honey. Spread them out on a baking sheet in a single layer.
- Roast the strawberries in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until they are soft and caramelized. Remove from the oven and let cool slightly.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the ricotta cheese, vanilla extract, and salt. Use a hand mixer or a whisk to whip the mixture until it’s creamy and smooth.
- While the strawberries are cooling, toast the slices of bread until golden brown.
- Spread a generous layer of the whipped ricotta on each slice of toast. Top with the roasted strawberries.
- Garnish with fresh mint leaves if desired and drizzle with additional honey for extra sweetness.
Notes
- For a bit of crunch, sprinkle some chopped nuts like walnuts or almonds on top before serving.
- Swap out strawberries for other berries like blueberries or raspberries for a different flavor profile.
