Ingredients

Scale

Ingredients

  • 1 cup whole-milk ricotta cheese
  • 1/2 cup fresh ripe blueberries
  • 1–2 tsp honey or maple syrup, for drizzling
  • 2 slices rustic sourdough or whole-grain bread
  • 1 tsp lemon zest
  • Pinch of salt
  • 1 tsp olive oil (optional)

Instructions

  1. Whip the Ricotta: Place the whole-milk ricotta cheese in a mixing bowl and whisk vigorously by hand or with an electric mixer until the texture becomes light, fluffy, and smooth. This step improves the creaminess and makes it easier to spread.
  2. Prepare the Bread: Toast your choice of bread slices (rustic sourdough or whole-grain) until they turn golden brown and have a crunchy texture. This contrasts nicely with the creamy topping.
  3. Layer the Ricotta: Spread a generous dollop of the whipped ricotta evenly across each toasted slice to create a soft, creamy base.
  4. Add Blueberries and Flavor: Top the whipped ricotta with fresh blueberries, then sprinkle with lemon zest and a pinch of salt. Drizzle honey or maple syrup over the top, and optionally finish with a light drizzle of olive oil for added richness.

Notes

  • Use chilled ricotta for better whipping and texture retention.
  • Ensure bread is well toasted to prevent sogginess.
  • Choose ripe blueberries for natural sweetness without extra sugar.
  • Add lemon or orange zest to brighten flavors.
  • Customize sweetness with honey, maple syrup, or balsamic glaze.
  • Store leftover whipped ricotta in an airtight container refrigerated up to 3 days; keep blueberries separate.
  • Best served immediately after assembly for optimal texture and flavor.
