👩🍳 Instructions
- 1 Heat a nonstick pan or toaster over medium heat. Lightly brush both sides of the bread with olive oil.
- 2 Toast the bread for about 2-3 minutes per side until golden brown and crisp on the outside, but still soft on the inside.
- 3 While the bread is toasting, mix the ricotta with a pinch of sea salt and ground cinnamon in a small bowl, stirring until smooth.
- 4 Remove the toasted bread and spread the ricotta mixture evenly over each slice while it's still warm.
- 5 Arrange the sliced fresh fruit on top of the ricotta, then sprinkle with dried fruit and chopped toasted nuts.
- 6 Drizzle pure honey evenly over the top, adding a little extra cinnamon if you like.
- 7 Garnish with fresh mint leaves and serve immediately while the toast is still warm and crispy.
💡 Tips
• Use a slightly thick, dense bread like sourdough (Italian-style crusty bread) so it doesn't get soggy when spread with ricotta.
• If you don't have ricotta, you can substitute pureed cottage cheese or labneh (strained yogurt cheese) for a similar texture.
• Toast the nuts briefly in a dry pan without oil before sprinkling them on for extra aroma and crunch.
• Adjust the fresh fruit to whatever is in season—berries or bananas also work well for a flavor variation.
