Preparation
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Halve or quarter the fresh strawberries, toss them in a bowl with honey, balsamic vinegar, and a pinch of salt until well coated. Spread evenly on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
- Roast the strawberries in the preheated oven for 15–20 minutes until soft and caramelized.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the ricotta with a drizzle of olive oil and a pinch of salt. Whip until smooth and fluffy, around 2-3 minutes.
- Slice the crusty bread into ¾-inch thick pieces, brush lightly with olive oil, and toast for about 3-4 minutes per side until golden and crisp.
- Spread a thick layer of whipped ricotta on each slice of toasted bread, top with the warm roasted strawberries, drizzle with honey, and finish with thyme leaves and black pepper.
- Serve immediately while the bread is warm and crispy.

Notes
Keep an eye on strawberries while roasting to avoid mushiness. A sturdy sourdough or baguette will hold up better against toppings. Store leftover components in the fridge for up to 3 days.
