Roasted Strawberry Whipped Ricotta Toast (Printable Version)

Sweet roasted strawberries meet creamy whipped ricotta on golden toasted bread for an elegant breakfast experience.

# What You Need:

→ Roasted Strawberries

01 - 2 cups fresh strawberries, hulled and halved
02 - 2 tablespoons honey
03 - 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
04 - Pinch of sea salt

→ Whipped Ricotta

05 - 1 cup whole-milk ricotta cheese
06 - 2 tablespoons heavy cream
07 - 1 tablespoon honey
08 - Zest of 1 lemon
09 - Pinch of sea salt

→ Toast Assembly

10 - 4 thick slices crusty sourdough or country bread
11 - 1 tablespoon olive oil or unsalted butter
12 - Fresh mint leaves
13 - Additional honey for drizzling
14 - Crushed pistachios or toasted almonds

# Method:

01 - Preheat oven to 400°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
02 - On the prepared baking sheet, toss strawberries with honey, vanilla extract, and sea salt. Spread in a single layer and roast for 20-25 minutes until soft and syrupy. Set aside to cool slightly.
03 - In a medium bowl, combine ricotta, heavy cream, honey, lemon zest, and salt. Using a handheld mixer or whisk, whip until light and fluffy, about 2 minutes.
04 - Brush bread slices lightly with olive oil or butter. Toast in a skillet over medium heat or under a broiler until golden and crisp.
05 - Spread a generous layer of whipped ricotta on each toast. Top with roasted strawberries and their juices. Garnish with mint leaves, a drizzle of honey, and nuts if desired. Serve immediately.

# Expert Tricks:

01 -
  • The contrast between warm roasted berries and cool creamy ricotta creates the most luxurious texture
  • It looks impressive but comes together in under 40 minutes, making it perfect for unexpected guests
02 -
  • The whipped ricotta can be made a day ahead and kept chilled, but bring it to room temperature before serving
  • Roasted strawberries are best enjoyed the same day, but they'll keep in the refrigerator for up to 3 days
03 -
  • If your ricotta seems grainy, press it through a fine mesh sieve before whipping for the smoothest texture
  • A sprinkle of flaky sea salt on top right before serving creates this incredible sweet salty moment
