Ingredients
Scale
Ricotta Mixture
- 1 cup Ricotta Cheese (Choose the best quality for the smoothest texture.)
- 2 tablespoons Honey (Opt for local honey to enhance the flavor profile.)
- 1 pinch Sea Salt (Essential for balancing sweetness.)
Toast & Toppings
- 2 slices Gluten-Free Bread (Choose your preferred gluten-free bread.)
- 1 teaspoon Freshly Cracked Black Pepper (Always use freshly cracked for the best flavor experience.)
- 1/4 cup Chopped Walnuts (Try substituting with pecans or almonds for variation.)
Instructions
- Preparation: Gather all ingredients and equipment including a food processor and a toaster or broiler.
- Blend Ricotta Mixture: In a food processor, combine the ricotta cheese, honey, and sea salt. Blend until the mixture is smooth and creamy, ensuring there are no lumps for a light texture.
- Toast Bread: Place the gluten-free bread slices in a toaster or under the broiler. Toast each slice until golden brown and crispy, which takes about 3-5 minutes depending on your appliance.
- Spread Ricotta: Once toasted, generously spread the whipped ricotta mixture evenly over each slice of bread, creating a luscious layer.
- Add Pepper and Walnuts: Sprinkle freshly cracked black pepper on top of the ricotta spread, then add the chopped walnuts for crunch and nutty flavor.
- Final Touch: Drizzle extra honey over the top before serving to enhance sweetness and add a glossy finish.
Notes
- You can substitute walnuts with pecans or almonds according to your preference.
- Ensure the ricotta is fresh and high quality for the best smooth texture and flavor.
- Local honey enhances the flavor profile and adds natural sweetness.
- Toast the bread to a golden crisp for optimal texture contrast with the creamy ricotta.
- Serve immediately for best taste, as the toast may become soggy if left too long.
