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.

Breakfast Toast with Ricotta, Berries, Lemon and Honey

Prep Time: 5 minutes

Yield: Serves 1

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

  1. Toast the sourdough. Get it nice and brown and crispy.
  2. 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.
  3. Eat! Smile.
  4. Serves 1.

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!

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.
