Ingredients
4 slices of sturdy bread (Italian-style, sourdough, or any rustic loaf) – about 120 g total
1 cup (approximately 240 ml or 250 g) whole-milk ricotta
1/4 cup (approximately 60 ml) heavy cream
1 tablespoon (approximately 15 ml) extra-virgin olive oil, plus a little extra for drizzling
Pinch of flaky sea salt
Instructions
1-Heat a skillet over medium heat and add a thin layer of butter to get that golden toast going.
2-Toast the bread slices in the pan until they’re golden-brown on both sides, which takes about 1-2 minutes per side.
3-While the bread toasts, place the ricotta, heavy cream, and 1 tablespoon olive oil in a mixing bowl.
4-Whisk or use a spatula to beat the mixture until it becomes smooth, light, and fluffy. If it’s too runny, add a bit more ricotta; if too thick, thin it with a little more cream.
5-Spoon or pipe the whipped ricotta generously over each toasted slice.
6-Drizzle a thin stream of olive oil over the topped toasts and finish with a pinch of flaky sea salt.
7-Serve immediately to enjoy that warm, savory-sweet goodness.

🍴 Any firm, sliceable loaf works; sourdough or rustic country bread gives the best texture.
🧂 For a thicker spread, omit the heavy cream or reduce the olive oil.
⏱️ Keep liquids to a minimum to avoid soggy toast.
