Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound fresh strawberries
  • 1 cup whole milk ricotta cheese
  • 1–2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)
  • 1/2 teaspoon fresh lemon zest (optional)
  • Good quality rustic bread (e.g. sourdough, country loaf, ciabatta)
  • Olive oil for toasting
  • Sweetener (honey, maple syrup, granulated sugar, or powdered sugar)
  • Fresh mint or basil for garnish

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Wash and hull about 1 pound of fresh strawberries. Depending on their size, halve or quarter them. If they're very small, you can leave them whole.
  3. Place the strawberries in a medium baking dish or on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Drizzle with 1-2 tablespoons of honey or maple syrup (or a sprinkle of granulated sugar) and toss gently to coat.
  4. Roast for 15-20 minutes, or until the strawberries are tender, slightly collapsed, and have released some of their delicious juices. Be careful not to over-roast them; they should still hold some shape. Remove from the oven and let them cool slightly.
  5. While the strawberries are roasting, prepare the whipped ricotta. In a medium bowl, combine 1 cup of whole milk ricotta cheese, 1-2 tablespoons of honey or maple syrup, 1/2 teaspoon of vanilla extract (if using), and 1/2 teaspoon of fresh lemon zest (if using).
  6. Using a hand mixer or a whisk, whip the ricotta mixture for 2-3 minutes until it's light, airy, and super smooth. It should have a consistency similar to soft whipped cream. Taste and adjust sweetness if needed.
  7. Slice your chosen rustic bread into 1-inch thick pieces. Aim for 4-6 slices.
  8. Lightly brush or drizzle both sides of each bread slice with olive oil.
  9. Toast the bread in a toaster oven, a regular oven (about 5-7 minutes at 400°F/200°C), or in a dry skillet over medium heat, until golden brown and crisp.
  10. Once the toast is ready, immediately spread a generous dollop of the whipped ricotta onto each slice.
  11. Spoon a generous amount of the warm (or slightly cooled) roasted strawberries and their syrupy juices over the whipped ricotta.
  12. Finish with an optional drizzle of extra honey or a balsamic glaze, and a sprinkle of fresh mint or basil leaves for garnish.
  13. Serve immediately when the bread is still warm and crisp, and the ricotta is fresh and fluffy.
