Summer delight: Thick toast topped with creamy ricotta and sweet corn for an easy, satisfying meal.
Ingredients:
  • 2 ears of corn, shucked
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, divided
  • 1/2 red onion, small dice
  • 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • 8 mint leaves, very thinly sliced
  • 8 thick slices of whole grain batard or boule bread (cut about 4 inches wide, 5 inches long, and 1 inch thick)
  • 16 ounces ricotta cheese
  • For garnish
  • 4 mint leaves, very thinly sliced
Instructions:
  • Using a sharp knife, cut the corn kernels off the cob into a medium bowl, ensuring to extract as much of the kernels as possible. Hold the corn cob upright in the bowl, grip the stem at the top, and slice downwards in a rotating motion to detach all kernels from each side. Set aside the 2 1/4 cups of fresh corn.
  • In a medium pan over medium heat, melt 1 tablespoon of butter. Add the onion and sauté until starting to soften, about 2 minutes, stirring often.
  • Cook the corn: Add the corn along with the remaining butter, and cook until the corn is softened, for about 5 minutes.
  • Season with salt and pepper, then infuse with the fresh mint until softened and fragrant, for about 30 seconds, while stirring constantly.
  • Allow the topping to cool: Take the pan off the heat and let it rest for approximately 10 minutes until the corn reaches a warm temperature without being too hot.
  • Toast the bread in the toaster until lightly crispy, possibly requiring a second toasting for tender, thick slices. Set aside while the corn cools.
  • Spread a generous 3 1/2 tablespoons of ricotta onto each toast, making sure to spread it evenly to the edges using the back of a spoon after the corn has cooled.
  • Evenly spread the corn mixture over the ricotta on the toasts, making sure to cover almost to the edges. Use about 3 tablespoons per slice.
  • To enhance presentation and flavor, top with fresh mint before serving. If you enjoyed this dish, please consider leaving a rating!
