1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Pinch of sea salt
4 slices sturdy bread (sourdough, brioche, country loaf, or whole wheat)
2 tablespoons olive oil or butter
Optional fresh berries, sliced peaches, figs, or bananas
Optional chopped almonds, pecans, walnuts, or pistachios
Optional extra honey
Optional cinnamon or nutmeg
Optional lemon zest
Optional fresh mint or basil
Instructions
- Combine the ricotta cheese, honey, vanilla extract, and sea salt in a medium bowl.
- Whip the mixture with an electric mixer or whisk until light, fluffy, and smooth.
- Toast the bread until crisp and golden using a toaster, oven, or skillet. Brush lightly with olive oil or butter if desired.

- Serve immediately while the toast is crisp and the whipped ricotta is fresh and creamy.
Notes
Whipped ricotta can be made up to 3 days ahead and stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
Do not store assembled toast, as the bread will become soft.
Use sturdy bread such as sourdough, brioche, country loaf, or whole wheat for the best texture.
Full-fat ricotta provides the creamiest texture, but low-fat ricotta may also be used.
Customize with seasonal fruit, toasted nuts, warm spices, citrus zest, or fresh herbs.
