Blueberry Lavender Ricotta Toast

This may be one of the easiest, most delicious toasts I’ve ever made and believe me when I tell you that I’ve had more than my share of toast.

I grew up on cinnamon toast, always heated in the oven or better yet the broiler (crisper if you’re from the South). Sustained myself through my early twenties on toast with butter and jam, because hello bills and minimum wage. Then stunted into my early thirties by becoming an Avocado toast aficionado.

So when I say that this toast is one of the easiest and most delicious that I’ve ever made it means something.

This recipe is made up of fairly basic ingredients and can be further modified to fit your preference. All you need is:

• Bread, a thicker cut is better but regular cut works too.
• Jam, or jelly. I prefer strawberry jam but any flavor would work
• Ricotta cheese
• Fruit- Use whatever fruit you prefer! I’ve tried this recipe with blueberries, strawberries and bananas. They are all uniquely delicious.
• Honey– you don’t need much but I think the honey really pulls it all together.
• Dried Lavender– ok this is totally optional and obviously not an everyday kitchen item you already have in your pantry but this tiny addition takes this dish from tasting like your everyday home-made toast and transports you to a five star restaurant. Find it at World Market or on Amazon.

How to make Blueberry, Lavender Ricotta Toast

Assembly is as easy as toast. It is toast.

So start by toasting your bread to your desired doneness. I’m a medium-golden brown fan myself, nothing to crispy. Once the bread is toasted spread a very thin layer of jam, followed by a slightly thicker spread of ricotta. Once evenly spread add your chopped fruit then drizzle with honey and finish off with a sprinkle of dried lavender. Voila!
