# What You Need:

→ Roasted Strawberries

01 - 1 cup fresh strawberries, hulled and halved
02 - 1 tbsp honey or maple syrup
03 - 1 tsp balsamic vinegar
04 - Pinch of sea salt

→ Whipped Ricotta

05 - 1 cup whole milk ricotta cheese
06 - 2 tbsp heavy cream
07 - 1 tsp lemon zest

→ Assembly

10 - 4 slices crusty sourdough or country bread
11 - 1 tbsp olive oil
12 - Fresh mint leaves for garnish
13 - Cracked black pepper for garnish

# How to Make It:

01 - Preheat the oven to 400°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
02 - In a bowl, toss the strawberries with honey, balsamic vinegar, and a pinch of salt. Spread them on the baking sheet in a single layer.
03 - Roast the strawberries for 15–20 minutes until soft and syrupy. Let cool slightly.
04 - While the strawberries roast, combine ricotta, heavy cream, lemon zest, honey, and a pinch of salt in a food processor or with a hand mixer. Whip until smooth and creamy, about 1–2 minutes.
05 - Brush both sides of the bread slices with olive oil. Toast in a hot skillet or under the broiler until golden and crisp, about 2 minutes per side.
06 - Spread generous amounts of whipped ricotta onto each toast.
07 - Top with roasted strawberries and drizzle with any roasting juices. Garnish with fresh mint and cracked black pepper, if desired. Serve immediately.

# Expert Tips:

01 -
  • The contrast between warm jammy strawberries and cool creamy ricotta hits every perfect texture note
  • It looks fancy enough for guests but comes together in under 40 minutes
02 -
  • The ricotta needs to be fully whipped or you will end up with grainy disappointing textures
  • Let the strawberries cool for just 5 minutes before topping or they will melt the ricotta too fast
03 -
  • Roast extra strawberries and keep them in the fridge for instant yogurt toppings
  • The whipped ricotta keeps well covered so you can make it the night before
