Ingredients
- 1 cup Whole-milk ricotta
- 8 slices Baguette
- 2 tbsp Hot honey
- 1 tsp Fresh thyme
- 1 tbsp Olive oil
- 1/2 Lemon
Steps
- Heat the oven to 400°F.
- Brush the baguette slices lightly with olive oil on both sides and arrange in a single layer on a baking sheet.
- Toast 8 to 10 minutes, flipping once halfway, until golden at the edges and crisp.
- Meanwhile, add the ricotta to a food processor and blend for 1 full minute until completely smooth and fluffy. Beginner tip: this transforms grainy ricotta into something cloudlike, don’t skip the full minute.
- Season the whipped ricotta with salt and a squeeze of lemon juice, then taste. It should be bright, not flat.
- Spread the whipped ricotta generously onto the warm toasts.
- Drizzle each with hot honey, scatter a few thyme leaves over the top, and serve immediately while the toast is still warm.
