4.5 from 132 reviews

This Lemon Blueberry Ricotta Toast is a bright and delicious breakfast or snack option featuring a creamy ricotta spread topped with a warm, tangy blueberry compote and fresh lemon zest, all served on perfectly toasted sourdough bread.

Ingredients

Scale

Toast

  • 1 Thick Slice of Sourdough Bread
  • Olive Oil (for drizzling)

Blueberry Compote

  • 3/4 cup Blueberries
  • Drizzle of Honey (about 1 tablespoon)
  • Juice of 1/2 a Lemon

Toppings

  • 1/4 cup Ricotta Cheese
  • Lemon Zest (from 1/2 lemon)

Instructions

  1. Make the Blueberry Compote: In a saucepan over medium heat, combine the blueberries, honey, and lemon juice. Stir occasionally until the mixture thickens and takes on a jam-like consistency, approximately 7-10 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside.
  2. Toast the Bread: Drizzle olive oil on both sides of the sourdough slice. Heat a skillet over medium heat and toast the bread slice, cooking each side until golden brown and crisp, about 2-3 minutes per side.
  3. Assemble the Toast: Spread an even layer of ricotta cheese over the toasted bread. Spoon the warm blueberry compote evenly on top of the ricotta layer.
  4. Garnish and Serve: Sprinkle fresh lemon zest over the assembled toast for a bright, citrusy finish. Serve immediately and enjoy!

Notes

  • You can substitute sourdough bread with your preferred bread such as multigrain or whole wheat.
  • Use raw honey for a more natural sweetness.
  • For a vegan version, use a plant-based ricotta alternative.
  • If fresh blueberries are not available, frozen blueberries can be used; just thaw before cooking.
  • Adjust sweetness by adding more or less honey according to taste.
