Description

This Roasted Strawberry Whipped Ricotta Toast is a deliciously simple and elegant breakfast or snack option. Sweet, caramelized roasted strawberries pair perfectly with creamy, lightly sweetened whipped ricotta, all served on crunchy toasted bread. Finished with fresh herbs and a drizzle of honey, this recipe combines fresh, seasonal flavors with a creamy texture for a delightful and satisfying treat.

Ingredients

Scale

For the Roasted Strawberries:

  • 1 pint fresh strawberries, hulled and sliced
  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • 1 teaspoon balsamic vinegar
  • Pinch of salt

For the Whipped Ricotta:

  • 1 cup ricotta cheese
  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

For Assembly:

  • 4 slices of crusty bread, toasted
  • Fresh thyme or basil leaves (optional)
  • Extra honey for drizzling

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Roasted Strawberries: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and for easy cleanup.
  2. Toss Strawberries: In a bowl, combine the sliced strawberries with honey, balsamic vinegar, and a pinch of salt, mixing gently to coat the strawberries evenly.
  3. Arrange Strawberries: Spread the coated strawberries out in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet to ensure even roasting.
  4. Roast Strawberries: Roast in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, until the strawberries are soft and slightly caramelized, then remove and allow them to cool.
  5. Prepare the Whipped Ricotta: In a medium bowl, combine the ricotta cheese, honey, and vanilla extract for sweetness and fragrance.
  6. Whip Ricotta: Using a hand mixer or a whisk, whip the ricotta mixture until it becomes smooth and creamy, creating a spreadable texture.
  7. Assemble the Toast: Spread a generous layer of the whipped ricotta on each toasted bread slice to provide a creamy base.
  8. Top with Strawberries: Spoon the cooled roasted strawberries evenly over each slice with whipped ricotta.
  9. Garnish and Serve: Add fresh thyme or basil leaves if desired, and drizzle extra honey over the top for added sweetness and flavor before serving.

Notes

  • You can substitute fresh basil for thyme or omit herbs altogether based on preference.
  • The bread should be crusty to provide a nice contrast to the creamy ricotta and soft strawberries.
  • For a vegan option, substitute ricotta with a plant-based cheese alternative and use maple syrup instead of honey.
  • Roasted strawberries can be prepared ahead of time and refrigerated for up to 2 days.
  • If you prefer tartness, adjust the honey amount in the whipped ricotta or drizzle less honey on top.
