A quick and easy breakfast toast featuring fluffy whipped ricotta cheese topped with sweet, macerated strawberries, perfect for a fresh and indulgent start to your day.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup (250g) whole milk ricotta cheese
  • 2 tablespoons (30 ml) heavy cream
  • 1 cup (150g) hulled and sliced fresh strawberries
  • 1 tablespoon (12g) granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon (5 ml) fresh lemon juice
  • 4 slices rustic sourdough or country loaf bread, toasted
  • Fresh mint leaves for garnish (optional)
  • Honey or balsamic glaze for drizzling (optional)

Instructions

  1. In a small bowl, combine sliced strawberries with granulated sugar and fresh lemon juice. Gently toss to coat and set aside at room temperature for about 10 minutes to macerate.
  2. In a medium mixing bowl, add ricotta and heavy cream. Whip with an electric mixer or whisk until light, fluffy, and smooth, about 2 to 3 minutes. Add a pinch of salt if desired.
  3. Toast the bread slices until golden and crisp. Optionally, brush with olive oil and grill for char marks.
  4. Spread a generous layer of whipped ricotta evenly over each slice of toasted bread.
  5. Top with macerated strawberries, including some of the juices.
  6. Garnish with fresh mint leaves if using, and drizzle with honey or balsamic glaze if desired. Serve immediately.

Notes

If ricotta is too thick to whip smoothly, add a splash more cream or a teaspoon of milk. Do not skip macerating the strawberries for at least 10 minutes to enhance flavor and texture. Assemble toast just before serving to prevent sogginess. Rustic sourdough or country loaf bread works best for sturdiness.
