Introduction

This Roasted Strawberry Whipped Ricotta Toast is a delightful combination of creamy, sweet, and tangy flavors. Perfect for breakfast or a light snack, it’s easy to prepare and sure to impress with its fresh and vibrant ingredients.

The image shows two slices of toasted bread with a golden brown, crispy texture. Each slice is topped with a thick, white layer of creamy cheese spread evenly across the surface. On top, there are several bright red strawberry slices arranged in a neat, overlapping pattern, with a glossy shine from fresh juice. Small green herb flakes are sprinkled on the strawberries, adding a touch of color contrast. The toast rests on a white marbled surface, and a woman's hand is gently holding one slice near the bottom edge. Photo taken with an iphone --ar 4:5 --v 7

Ingredients

2 slices crusty bread (like sourdough or baguette)
1 cup fresh strawberries, halved or quartered
½ cup ricotta cheese
1 teaspoon olive oil
1 tablespoon honey (plus more for drizzling)
1 teaspoon balsamic vinegar
½ teaspoon fresh thyme leaves
Pinch salt
Pinch black pepper

Instructions

Step 1: Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
Step 2: Toss the strawberries with honey, balsamic vinegar, and a pinch of salt. Spread them evenly on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
Step 3: Roast the strawberries for 15–20 minutes, until they are soft, juicy, and slightly caramelized.
Step 4: In a small bowl, whip the ricotta cheese with olive oil and a pinch of salt until smooth and fluffy.
Step 5: Toast the bread slices in a skillet or toaster until golden and crisp.
Step 6: Spread the whipped ricotta generously on each slice of toasted bread.
Step 7: Top with the warm roasted strawberries and drizzle with additional honey if desired.
Step 8: Finish with fresh thyme leaves, a pinch of black pepper, and serve immediately.

Tips & Variations

For a nutty crunch, sprinkle toasted almonds or walnuts on top before serving.
Use cream cheese instead of ricotta for a richer texture.
Try swapping fresh thyme for basil or mint for a different herby note.
If strawberries aren’t in season, substitute with raspberries or blueberries roasted the same way.

Storage

Assemble the toast just before serving for the best texture. Store leftover roasted strawberries and whipped ricotta separately in airtight containers in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat strawberries gently in the microwave or on the stove before serving again.

How to Serve
