Description

Enjoy a delicious Blueberry Ricotta Toast for breakfast or brunch, featuring creamy ricotta, sweet blueberries, and crispy toasted bread. This satisfying treat is perfect for any occasion and can be customized with various toppings.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 slices of your favorite bread (sourdough, whole grain, or brioche)
  • 1 cup fresh blueberries
  • 1 cup ricotta cheese
  • 2 tablespoons honey (or maple syrup for a vegan option)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil (optional, for drizzling)
  • Pinch of salt
  • Fresh mint leaves for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  1. In a medium-sized mixing bowl, add 1 cup of ricotta cheese.
  2. Add 2 tablespoons of honey (or maple syrup) to the ricotta.
  3. Pour in 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract and 1 tablespoon of lemon juice.
  4. Add a pinch of salt to enhance the flavors.
  5. Mix everything together until smooth and creamy. Adjust sweetness if needed and set aside.
  6. Rinse 1 cup of fresh blueberries under cold water and pat dry.
  7. In a small saucepan over medium heat, add the blueberries. Optionally, add a splash of water and a drizzle of honey or maple syrup.
  8. Cook for about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the blueberries start to burst and release their juices.
  9. Remove from heat and let cool slightly. Mash with a fork if a smoother texture is desired.
  10. Toast the bread using a toaster, oven, or grill.
  11. If using an oven, preheat to 400°F (200°C). Place bread on a baking sheet and drizzle with olive oil if desired.
  12. Toast for about 8-10 minutes until golden brown and crispy.
  13. Let the toasted bread cool for a minute.
  14. Spread a generous amount of the ricotta mixture on each slice of toasted bread.
  15. Spoon warm blueberry compote over the ricotta.
  16. Drizzle with additional honey or maple syrup if desired.
  17. Garnish with fresh mint leaves for added color and aroma.
  18. Serve immediately while the bread is warm. Perfect for breakfast, brunch, or a light dessert.
  19. Keep ricotta mixture and blueberry compote separate if making multiple servings to maintain crispiness.
  20. Pair with coffee or tea for a delightful morning treat.

Notes

  • Experiment with different types of bread for varied flavors.
  • Add toppings like sliced almonds, chia seeds, or a sprinkle of cinnamon for extra texture.
  • For a vegan option, use plant-based ricotta and maple syrup.
