Ricotta toast, honey & thyme - Italy breakfast recipe

Method

01

Toast the bread.

Toast the bread until golden and crisp. The ricotta is soft and creamy โ€” you need the bread to have structure and crunch.

02

Whip the ricotta.

In a small bowl, stir the ricotta vigorously with a fork for 30 seconds. This loosens and lightens it โ€” you want it spreadable, not grainy.

Note. Room-temperature ricotta whips much better than cold.
03

Assemble and finish.

Spread ricotta thickly over each slice. Drizzle honey generously โ€” let it pool. Scatter thyme leaves, finish with flaky salt, black pepper, and a thin drizzle of olive oil.

Note. Do not be timid with the honey. This is a sweet-savoury breakfast and the honey is the whole point.
