Lightly sweetened creamy lemon ricotta on toast topped with sweet juicy wild blueberry sauce, sprinkled with mint. Sumptuosity on a plate.
Need a toast upgrade?
Well I’ve got one for you. No fancy ingredients required.
So if you are ready to spread your toast with something a little more exciting than butter or jam, this post is for you.
I have to admit when I think of ricotta I usually think of pasta dishes like lasagna or manicotti but recently I’ve started using ricotta on toast. I know avocado is a popular toast topper and I love it, but ricotta is a nice change.
I made a delicious fruit sauce, using frozen wild blueberries I purchased from Trader Joe’s, but feel free to use your favorite fruit. So wonderful, this sauce comes together in minutes.
While the sauce is cooking, simply mix some ricotta with lemon juice, zest and some agave or maple syrup if you like.
Now the good part, spread and enjoy!
This Lemon Ricotta Toast with Wild Blueberry Sauce is a delicious toast upgrade, don’t you think? For an extra layer of goodness add some sliced strawberries.
