Ingredients
Ingredients
- 4 slices sourdough bread (sliced 1/2 inch thick)
- 1 cup full fat / whole milk ricotta cheese
- 1/2 cup roasted salted pistachios (chopped)
- 2 tbsp honey
- 1/2 tsp flaky salt
Instructions
- Prepare the Bread: Start by slicing your sourdough bread into 1/2 inch thick slices. Lightly toast them if desired to add crunch and warmth, which makes spreading the ricotta easier and enhances flavor.
- Spread the Ricotta: Evenly spread about 1/4 cup of full-fat ricotta cheese on each slice. The creamy texture provides a rich base for toppings.
- Add Pistachios: Sprinkle the chopped roasted salted pistachios generously over the ricotta on each toast, adding a pleasant nutty crunch to every bite.
- Drizzle Honey: Drizzle about 1/2 tablespoon of honey on each toast to introduce a natural sweetness that contrasts beautifully with the salt and ricotta.
- Finish with Salt: Lightly sprinkle flaky salt over each toast to heighten the flavors and add a subtle savory finish. Serve immediately for best texture and taste.
Notes
- For a vegan alternative, substitute ricotta with a plant-based cheese and use agave or maple syrup instead of honey.
- Toast the bread lightly for added crunch but avoid too much hardness which can make spreading ricotta difficult.
- Use fresh flaky salt to ensure the perfect balance of saltiness and crunch.
- This recipe is best served fresh but the components can be prepped ahead for quick assembly.
