Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 lb fresh strawberries Hulled and halved
  • 2 tablespoon honey Or maple syrup, for roasting
  • 1 teaspoon balsamic vinegar Enhances the strawberry flavor
  • 1 cup whole milk ricotta cheese Cold
  • 4 thick slices artisan bread Brioche, sourdough, or French bread
  • 2 tablespoon butter For toasting the bread
  • 1 pinch flaky sea salt To balance the sweetness
  • 1 tablespoon fresh thyme or mint Chopped for garnish

Equipment

  • 1 Baking Sheet For roasting the strawberries
  • 1 Food processor For whipping the ricotta smooth
  • 1 Large skillet For pan-toasting the bread
  • 1 Parchment paper To line the baking sheet for easy cleanup

Method
 

  1. Toss the halved strawberries with honey and balsamic vinegar on a baking sheet to coat the fruit so it caramelizes beautifully.
  2. Roast the strawberries at 400 degrees for fifteen minutes until they soften and collapse into a glossy, sweet syrup.
  3. Place the cold ricotta into a food processor and blend for two minutes to whip the cheese so it becomes incredibly fluffy and smooth.
  4. Melt butter in a large skillet over medium heat to prepare the pan so the bread toasts evenly.
  5. Toast the thick bread slices in the skillet until the edges are deeply golden brown and crispy to create a sturdy base.
  6. Spread a generous layer of the whipped ricotta completely over each warm toast slice to assemble the foundation.
  7. Spoon the warm roasted strawberries and their syrup directly over the ricotta layer to sweeten the toast.
  8. Garnish the top with a pinch of flaky sea salt and fresh herbs before serving immediately so the bread stays crunchy.

Notes

Pan-toast your bread slices in butter rather than using a pop-up toaster; the caramelized butter creates a barrier that prevents the creamy ricotta from making the bread soggy.
