Ingredients
Scale
Strawberries
- 2 cups fresh strawberries, sliced
- 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
Ricotta Whip
- 1 cup ricotta cheese
- 2 tablespoons honey
Toast
- 4 slices whole grain bread
- Additional honey for drizzling
- Fresh mint for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) to prepare for roasting the strawberries.
- Prepare Strawberries: Place the sliced strawberries in a bowl, drizzle them with balsamic vinegar, and toss gently to evenly coat all the berries.
- Roast Strawberries: Spread the coated strawberries on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and roast them in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes until they are soft and slightly caramelized.
- Whip Ricotta: In a mixing bowl, combine the ricotta cheese and honey. Whip the mixture with a whisk or electric mixer until it becomes creamy and smooth.
- Toast Bread: Toast the whole grain bread slices until they are golden and crispy, either using a toaster or oven.
- Assemble Toast: Spread a generous layer of the whipped ricotta onto each slice of toast. Top with the roasted strawberries, drizzle with additional honey to taste, and garnish with fresh mint leaves if desired.
Notes
- You can substitute whole grain bread with gluten-free bread if desired.
- For a vegan alternative, replace ricotta with a plant-based cheese and honey with maple syrup.
- Roasted strawberries can be made ahead and stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
- Adjust the amount of honey according to your preferred sweetness level.
- Adding a sprinkle of cracked black pepper enhances the flavor contrast with the sweet strawberries and cheese.
