Ricotta Dream Toast

By



Crispy golden toasted bread generously swirled with vibrant basil pesto and topped with creamy, pillowy dollops of fresh ricotta (or soft curd cheese). This simple yet luxurious open-faced toast delivers the perfect balance of herby, garlicky freshness and rich creaminess. Ready in minutes — perfect for breakfast, brunch, or a sophisticated snack!

Ingredients:
• 1 thick slice of sourdough, ciabatta, or rustic bread
• 2–3 tbsp green basil pesto (homemade or high-quality store-bought)
• 80–100g fresh ricotta or soft curd cheese (творожный сыр)
• Olive oil for brushing
• Optional garnishes: fresh basil leaves, cracked black pepper, chili flakes, pine nuts, or a drizzle of honey/balsamic glaze
Instructions:
1. Heat a skillet over medium heat or preheat your oven to 200°C (390°F).
2. Brush both sides of the bread generously with olive oil. Toast in the skillet for 2–3 minutes per side until deep golden and crispy, or bake in the oven for 5–7 minutes.
3. While still warm, spread a generous layer of pesto over the entire surface of the toast.
4. Using a spoon, place big, rustic dollops of ricotta/curd cheese on top of the pesto. Gently spread some of them slightly for visual appeal, but keep the chunky, creamy texture.
5. Finish with freshly cracked black pepper, a few basil leaves, and any optional toppings.
6. Serve immediately while the bread is still warm and crunchy.
Pro tips:
• Use room-temperature cheese for easier spreading.
• For extra flavor, rub the warm toast with a cut garlic clove before adding pesto.
• This toast pairs beautifully with a fried egg on top or prosciutto for a heartier version.
Enjoy your beautiful creation! 🍞🌿
