This is my new favorite breakfast. I’ve eaten it four days in a row, because once you open a container of ricotta, it’s hard to just leave it there unloved.
Plus, it has all the flavors and textures I need to wake me up — crunchy, creamy, fruity, tart, sweet…and it’s pretty.
The title here really says it all, and once you read it, you won’t need a recipe.
But of COURSE I’ll give you a recipe in case you need some guidance. When you make it again tomorrow, you can solo.
Breakfast Toast with Ricotta, Berries, Lemon and Honey
Crunchy, creamy, fruity, tart and sweet, this Ricotta Berry Lemon Honey toast is just what you need to make it worth waking up.
Ingredients
- 1 large slice sourdough bread
- 2-4 tablespoons ricotta cheese (I like whole-milk ricotta, but suit yourself).
- Blueberries and blackberries (or any berries you like)
- Zest of 1 lemon
- Honey (or agave or maple syrup or liquid sweetener of your choice)
Directions
- Toast the sourdough. Get it nice and brown and crispy.
- Spread toast with ricotta. Stick berries onto the toast; the ricotta is the "glue." Sprinkle with lemon zest (depending on size of lemon and size of toast, you might not use it all). Drizzle with honey.
- Eat! Smile.
- Serves 1.

I love berries and lemon.
looks delicious!
This is a gorgeous breakfast toast! I love ricotta and honey together!
Michelle,
Thank you! It has become one of my faves.
This looks delicious, a real treat for breakfast. I’ve not thought of using ricotta in this way. I know what I’m having for brunch this weekend now!
Emma,
Ricotta is so versatile. You can also make Ricotta pancakes, which are divine!
I can see myself falling in love with this breakfast, too!
Ricotta cheese is delicious. I think I’d like to try this with raspberries and ricotta only. I wonder how much the taste changes if you use different types of bread. Maybe a multi-grain bread?
Kelly,
Go for it on the multi-grain and raspberries. I love lemon zest, so I would be lemon zest on there, but you could easily omit.
I love this flavor combo and the freshness of it all with the ricotta!
How did I not realize this kind of toast was a thing?!? Brilliant! I’m totally making this goodness for myself tomorrow – it sounds perfect!
I shared this to my Facebook so I can reference it and MAKE it! I try to eat berries with every breakfast and was looking for new ways to use them. LOVE this!! YUM!
Joely,
Thank you for sharing! I hope you love it when you try it!
