Equipment
- Toaster or skillet For toasting the bread
- Small bowl To whisk ricotta with honey
- knife To slice the pear thinly
Ingredients
- 2 slices rustic or whole-grain bread
- 1/2 cup full-fat ricotta cheese
- 1 ripe pear (Bartlett, Bosc, or Anjou), thinly sliced
- 2 tsp honey (plus more for drizzling)
- Pinch of sea salt
- Optional toppings: chopped walnuts, cinnamon, citrus zest, or fresh thyme
Instructions
- Toast the bread slices until golden and crisp around the edges but still tender inside.
- In a small bowl, whisk the ricotta with 2 teaspoons of honey and a pinch of sea salt until creamy and smooth.
- Spread the whipped ricotta evenly onto the warm toast slices.
- Top each slice with thinly sliced pear, slightly fanned out for presentation.
- Drizzle with more honey and sprinkle optional toppings like chopped walnuts, cinnamon, or citrus zest.
Notes
Choose ripe but firm pears for the best flavor and texture. Whisking the ricotta with a bit of honey and sea salt before spreading enhances its creaminess and makes layering easy. Serve immediately while the toast is warm for best results.
