How to Make Whipped Ricotta Toast
Step 1: Toast the Bread
Lightly brush your sourdough slices with olive oil and toast until golden and crisp. You can use a skillet, toaster, or oven.
The contrast between crunchy bread and creamy ricotta is what makes this recipe so satisfying.
Step 2: Whip the Ricotta
Add ricotta to a bowl or food processor and whip until smooth and airy.
If you want an extra creamy texture, add a tiny drizzle of olive oil while whipping.
Step 3: Assemble the Toast
Spread the whipped ricotta generously over each slice of toast.
Layer fresh peach slices on top, then drizzle with hot honey.
Finish with flaky sea salt, black pepper, and optional toppings like thyme or pistachios.
