Ingredients
Scale
1 pound strawberries, hulled and halved
2 tablespoons honey
Juice of ½ lemon
4 sprigs fresh thyme (plus more for garnish)
2 slices rustic bread (1-inch thick)
1 tablespoon olive oil
¾ cup whole milk ricotta cheese
Pinch of sea salt
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Set your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Roast Strawberries: Place the halved strawberries in a medium baking dish. Drizzle with honey, squeeze the lemon juice over them, and scatter thyme sprigs on top. Roast for 20 minutes, stirring once halfway through.
- Toast Bread: Brush both sides of the rustic bread slices with olive oil. Toast in the oven for 1-2 minutes until golden and crispy.
- Whip Ricotta: In a food processor, blend the ricotta cheese for 30 seconds to a minute until smooth and fluffy.
- Assemble: Spread whipped ricotta evenly over the toasted bread slices. Top generously with the roasted strawberries.
- Garnish & Serve: Sprinkle a pinch of sea salt and additional thyme leaves. Serve immediately while warm.
Notes
Swap ricotta with goat cheese or mascarpone for a flavor twist.
Add chopped nuts like pistachios for crunch.
Roasted strawberries and whipped ricotta can be made ahead and stored separately.
