Whipped Ricotta Toast
I have loved ricotta for a long time but tend to forget about. I had a version of whipped ricotta that inspired this toast and I have never looked back. It’s SO simple yet so delicious. Whether you are whipping up a snack for yourself or serving for an elegant brunch, this recipe is sure to be a hit.
- Only 3 ingredients (plus toppings)!
- So versatile, customize your ricotta toast to what you have on hand and what you love.
- Prepare in the amount of time it takes to toast your bread.
Ingredients
- Ricotta Cheese: Use full fat ricotta for the best results.
- Olive Oil: You can leave this out if you prefer, but I find it gives the whipped ricotta a richness.
- Artisan Bread: Use your favorite crusty bread. I love to use homemade no knead bread, but any crusty bread, or even French bread, will work. For a higher protein breakfast, try the whipped ricotta over protein bagels.
Ricotta Toast Toppings
- Honey & Pistachios (add a pinch of sea salt to take it to the next level)
- Sliced Strawberries
- Citrus Zest (lemon or orange or both would be delicious!)
- Peach Slices
- Blueberry Compote
- Balsamic Glaze
- Fresh Herbs (thyme & honey would be a wonderful combo)
- Cherry Tomatoes & Basil
- Olive Oil Drizzle & Fresh Ground Pepper
- Roasted Mushrooms
