Print Recipe

A quick and indulgent breakfast or brunch toast featuring airy whipped ricotta, warm roasted stone fruit, and a spicy-sweet drizzle of hot honey. Perfect for a fresh yet comforting start to your day.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup (250 g) whole milk ricotta cheese
  • 2 tablespoons (30 ml) heavy cream
  • 1 teaspoon (2 g) lemon zest
  • 2–3 peaches, nectarines, or plums (ripe but firm), halved and sliced into ½ inch wedges
  • 4 thick slices crusty bread (sourdough or rustic country loaf)
  • ½ cup (120 ml) raw or wildflower honey
  • ½ teaspoon (1 g) chili flakes
  • 1 tablespoon (15 ml) olive oil, plus more for brushing bread
  • Pinch of sea salt
  • Fresh herbs (thyme or basil), optional

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Wash and halve the stone fruit. Remove pits and slice into ½ inch wedges. Toss with 1 tablespoon olive oil and a pinch of sea salt.
  3. Arrange fruit slices cut side up on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Roast for 15-20 minutes until softened and caramelized at the edges.
  4. While fruit roasts, warm honey in a small saucepan over low heat. Add chili flakes and gently stir. Infuse for 5 minutes without boiling, then remove from heat.
  5. In a mixing bowl, combine ricotta, heavy cream, and lemon zest. Whisk vigorously until light, airy, and spreadable, about 2-3 minutes.
  6. Brush bread slices lightly with olive oil. Toast in a toaster or under the broiler until golden and crisp but still soft inside, about 3-5 minutes.
  7. Spread a generous layer of whipped ricotta on each toast slice. Top with warm roasted stone fruit slices.
  8. Drizzle with hot honey and finish with a sprinkle of sea salt and optional fresh herbs.
  9. Serve immediately to enjoy the contrast of warm fruit and cool ricotta.

Notes

If ricotta is watery, strain through cheesecloth for 30 minutes before whipping for a thicker spread. Adjust chili flakes in hot honey to control spice level. Use day-old bread for better texture. Assemble toast just before serving to avoid sogginess. For dairy-free, substitute ricotta with plant-based alternative and heavy cream with coconut cream; swap honey for maple syrup.
