Ingredients

• 1 cup Ricotta cheese
• 1 loaf Baguette or crusty bread
• 2 tablespoons Extra-virgin olive oil
• 1 tablespoon Honey
• 1 teaspoon Fresh thyme leaves
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
• 0.25 cup Optional: Fresh berries
• 0.5 teaspoon Optional: Lemon zest

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) or set a skillet over medium-high heat if toasting bread on the stovetop.

Step 2

Slice the baguette into 8 to 10 thin slices (approximately 1/2 inch thick).

Step 3

Lightly brush both sides of each slice with extra-virgin olive oil.

Step 4

Place the bread slices on a baking tray if using the oven and toast for 5 minutes or until golden brown. If using a skillet, toast each side for 2–3 minutes until crisp.

Step 5

In a small bowl, mix the ricotta cheese with salt, black pepper, and (optional) lemon zest for added brightness.

Step 6

Spread a generous tablespoon of the seasoned ricotta cheese onto each toasted bread slice.

Step 7

Drizzle the tops with honey, then sprinkle with fresh thyme leaves.

Step 8

For an optional sweet-and-savory twist, add a few fresh berries like raspberries, blueberries, or blackberries on top.

Step 9

Serve immediately as a delicious snack or appetizer.
