Ingredients
  

For the Toast

For the Sweetening and Flavor
  • 2 tablespoons Olive Oil Helps enhance the ricotta’s smoothness; can be omitted if desired.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. 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.
  3. Roast the strawberries in the preheated oven for 15–20 minutes until soft and caramelized.
  4. 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.
  5. 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.
  6. 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.
  7. 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.
