Description

This simple Honey Ricotta Toast with Pistachios is a light and refreshing appetizer. It's perfect for a weekend brunch or to pair with a glass of wine before dinner.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 large slices sourdough bread
  • olive oil, for brushing
  • 1/2 cup part-skim ricotta
  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • 1/4 cup pistachios, chopped
  • flaky sea salt, to taste

Instructions

  1. Toast the bread. To toast the bread, preheat the oven to 400°F. Arrange the bread slices on a baking sheet. Lightly brush the tops with olive oil, then bake for 5-8 minutes until toasted.
  2. Spread on the ricotta. Let the bread cool for 2 minutes so you can easily handle it. Divide the ricotta among the 4 pieces of toast, and spread out evenly.
  3. Add toppings. Drizzle honey over each toast, and sprinkle with chopped pistachios.
  4. Serve. Serve topped with a pinch of flaky sea salt and enjoy!


Notes

Choose a ricotta that tastes fresh, is creamy, with a thick texture. If it's a little watery- you can strain it with a cheesecloth before spreading on the toast.

You can toast the bread in a toaster, however I really like the texture of the toast by brushing with oil and toasting in the oven.
