  • 1 tablespoon butter

  • ½ teaspoon cinnamon optional
  • 2 to 3 tablespoons honey
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract optional

Method
 

  1. Toast the bread slices until golden and crisp using a toaster or grill pan.

  3. Add the sliced fruit and brown sugar, then cook for 4 to 6 minutes until the fruit softens and becomes lightly caramelized.
  4. Stir in the cinnamon and vanilla extract, if using, and cook for another 30 seconds.
  5. In a small bowl, stir the ricotta with a small drizzle of honey and a tiny pinch of salt for extra flavor.
  6. Spread the ricotta mixture evenly over the toasted bread.
  7. Spoon the warm caramelized fruit over each toast.
  8. Finish with an extra drizzle of honey.
  9. Add fresh mint or chopped nuts on top if desired, then serve right away.

Notes

  • Sourdough works especially well because it stays crisp under the creamy ricotta.
  • Peaches, bananas, apples, and berries all work beautifully in this recipe.
  • Keep the heat moderate so the fruit caramelizes without burning.
  • Add a sprinkle of granola or nuts for extra crunch.
  • This recipe is best served fresh while the toast is still crisp.
