A light, bright, and creamy breakfast toast featuring whipped lemon ricotta, fresh blueberries, and a drizzle of honey. Quick and easy to prepare, perfect for busy mornings or brunch.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup (250g) whole milk ricotta cheese
  • Zest of 1 lemon
  • 1 tablespoon (15ml) fresh lemon juice
  • 2 tablespoons (30ml) honey, plus extra for drizzling
  • 1 cup (150g) fresh or frozen blueberries
  • 4 slices thick-cut sourdough or country white bread
  • Pinch of sea salt (optional)
  • Fresh mint leaves for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  1. Toast 4 slices of bread until golden and crisp, about 3-4 minutes in a toaster or 2-3 minutes per side on a hot grill pan.
  2. In a mixing bowl, combine ricotta cheese, lemon zest, lemon juice, honey, and a pinch of sea salt.
  3. Whip the mixture using an electric hand mixer or whisk for 2-3 minutes until light, fluffy, and slightly airy.
  4. Rinse blueberries and pat dry. If frozen, thaw and drain excess liquid.
  5. Spread a generous layer of whipped lemon ricotta onto each toasted bread slice.
  6. Scatter blueberries evenly on top of the ricotta.
  7. Drizzle honey over the berries and add fresh mint leaves if desired.
  8. Serve immediately while the bread is still crisp and ricotta is cool and creamy.

Notes

If ricotta is too thick, add a splash of milk or cream (1 teaspoon at a time) while whipping to achieve a spreadable consistency. Use fresh lemon zest for best flavor. Toast bread just before serving to avoid sogginess. Whip ricotta up to 24 hours ahead and keep refrigerated. Variations include swapping blueberries for other berries or adding herbs and nuts for texture.
