Whipped ricotta on crusty bread with lemon-thyme honey is pure magic.
Ingredients:
  • 10 (1/2-inch) slices crusty sourdough bread
  • 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil, plus more for bread
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt
  • Freshly ground black pepper
  • 15 ounces whole milk ricotta
  • Zest of 1 lemon
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
  • 1/3 cup honey
  • 1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves
  • Flaky sea salt, for serving (optional)
Instructions:
  • Preheat your oven to 425°F.
  • For perfectly golden and crisp toast, arrange the bread slices on a baking sheet. Brush both sides gently with olive oil and sprinkle a total of 1 teaspoon salt and some black pepper on top. Bake until beautifully golden for about 10 minutes without flipping.
  • For the whipped ricotta, blend ricotta, lemon zest, olive oil, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and black pepper in a food processor until smooth and fluffy, about 1 minute. Scrape down the sides with a spatula and blend for an additional 30 seconds.
  • Prepare the lemon-thyme honey by combining honey, lemon juice, and thyme in a small bowl.
  • Prepare the toasts by slathering them with creamy ricotta while they're warm and then generously drizzle with lemon-thyme honey. Add a sprinkle of flaky sea salt for extra flavor, if you like.

Refrigerate the whipped ricotta in an airtight container for up to 5 days and store any leftover lemon-thyme honey in the fridge for up to 1 week.
