Ingredients:
Thick slices of your favorite artisan bread or sourdough
Fresh ricotta cheese
Honey for drizzling
Black pepper, freshly ground
Olive oil
Optional garnishes: toasted nuts, fresh thyme, or crushed red pepper flakes
Instructions:
Toast the Bread:
Toast the bread slices until they are golden and crispy. You can use a toaster, grill, or broil them in the oven.
Assemble the Toast:
Spread a generous layer of fresh ricotta cheese over each slice of toasted bread.
Drizzle honey over the ricotta. The amount of honey can be adjusted to your taste.
Add the Toppings:
Sprinkle freshly ground black pepper over the top.
Add a light drizzle of olive oil for an extra layer of flavor.
Garnish (Optional):
Sprinkle toasted nuts, fresh thyme leaves, or a pinch of crushed red pepper flakes for added texture and flavor.
Serve:
Serve immediately while the toast is still warm, allowing the honey to meld beautifully with the creamy ricotta.
