# What You’ll Need:

→ Roasted Strawberries

01 - 2 cups fresh strawberries, hulled and halved
02 - 2 tablespoons honey
03 - 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
04 - Pinch of sea salt

→ Whipped Ricotta

05 - 1 cup whole-milk ricotta cheese
06 - 2 tablespoons heavy cream
07 - 1 tablespoon honey

10 - 4 thick slices crusty sourdough or country bread
11 - 1 tablespoon olive oil or unsalted butter
12 - Fresh mint leaves (optional)
13 - Additional honey for drizzling
14 - Crushed pistachios or toasted almonds (optional)

# How-to Steps:

01 - Preheat oven to 400°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
02 - On the prepared baking sheet, toss strawberries with honey, vanilla extract, and a pinch of sea salt. Spread in a single layer and roast for 20–25 minutes until soft and syrupy. Set aside to cool slightly.
03 - In a medium bowl, combine ricotta, heavy cream, honey, lemon zest, and a pinch of salt. Using a handheld mixer or whisk, whip until light and fluffy, about 2 minutes.
04 - Brush bread slices lightly with olive oil or butter. Toast in a skillet over medium heat or under a broiler until golden and crisp.
05 - Spread a generous layer of whipped ricotta on each toast. Top with roasted strawberries and their juices.
06 - Garnish with mint leaves, a drizzle of honey, and nuts if desired. Serve immediately.

# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • The roasted strawberries become jammy and intensified, while the ricotta stays light and creamy
  • It looks impressive but comes together in under 45 minutes with minimal effort
02 -
  • Whipped ricotta softens quickly at room temperature, so keep it chilled until the last minute
  • The strawberries continue to cook slightly after leaving the oven, so pull them out when they look done
03 -
  • Let the roasted strawberries cool for at least 10 minutes so they do not melt the whipped ricotta
  • Use a microplane for the lemon zest to avoid any bitter white pith
