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
1. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
2. Toss strawberries with honey, balsamic vinegar, and a pinch of salt. Spread them on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
3. Roast strawberries for 15–20 minutes, until soft, juicy, and slightly caramelized.
4. In a small bowl, whip ricotta with olive oil and a pinch of salt until smooth and fluffy.
5. Toast the bread slices in a skillet or toaster until golden and crisp.
6. Spread whipped ricotta generously on each slice of toasted bread.
7. Top with warm roasted strawberries and drizzle with more honey if desired.
8. Finish with fresh thyme, black pepper, and serve immediately.
Notes
Use full-fat ricotta for the creamiest texture, and whip it for a few minutes to get it extra fluffy.
Always toast the bread well—don’t rush it. A good crisp makes all the difference.
Fresh herbs like thyme or mint can completely transform the flavor profile—don’t skip them!
