Ingredients
Scale
- 4 slices of crusty bread (preferably sourdough or ciabatta)
- 1 cup ricotta cheese
- 1 cup fresh blueberries
- 2 tablespoons honey (plus extra for drizzling)
- 1 lemon (zested and juiced)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Pinch of salt
- 1–2 tablespoons olive oil (for toasting the bread)
- Fresh mint leaves (for garnish, optional)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Brush both sides of each slice of bread with olive oil and arrange on a baking sheet. Bake for 8–10 minutes until golden and crispy.
- In a mixing bowl, combine ricotta cheese, lemon zest, lemon juice, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. Mix until smooth and creamy.
- Remove the toasted bread from the oven and let cool slightly. Spread the ricotta mixture generously over each slice.
- Top with fresh blueberries and drizzle with honey. Garnish with mint leaves if desired.
- Serve warm or at room temperature and enjoy!
Notes
- Use gluten-free bread for a gluten-free version.
- Replace ricotta with plant-based alternatives for a dairy-free or vegan option.
- Try agave or maple syrup instead of honey for a different sweetness profile.
- Add cinnamon or crushed nuts for extra flavor and texture.
