Strawberry Honey Ricotta Toast

Warm toast spread with ricotta, sliced strawberries, honey and chopped pistachios for a bright, easy breakfast or snack.

# List of Ingredients:

→ Bread

01 - 2 thick slices rustic sourdough or whole-grain bread

→ Topping

02 - 1/2 cup ricotta cheese, well drained

03 - 1 cup fresh strawberries, hulled and sliced

04 - 2 tablespoons honey

05 - 2 tablespoons shelled pistachios, coarsely chopped

06 - Zest of 1/2 lemon (optional)

→ Garnish

07 - Fresh mint leaves (optional)

08 - Pinch flaky sea salt (optional)

# Directions:

01 - Toast the two slices of bread in a toaster or on a preheated grill pan until evenly golden and crisp at the edges.

02 - If the ricotta is wet, drain briefly; then, while the toasted bread is still warm, spread a generous 1/4 cup of ricotta on each slice so it softens slightly into the crumb.

03 - Arrange the sliced strawberries evenly atop the ricotta, covering the surface but leaving a small margin at the edge for crispness.

04 - Divide the honey, drizzling 1 tablespoon over each toast, then scatter the chopped pistachios evenly for crunch.

05 - Optionally add lemon zest, a few mint leaves and a pinch of flaky sea salt; serve immediately so the toast remains crisp.
