Roasted tomato and rosemary
Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Toss tomatoes in olive oil and spread out on a lined baking sheet (Check out our favorite baking sheet liners here). Season with rosemary, sea salt, and freshly ground pepper to taste. Roast 20-30 minutes or until tomatoes “pop”. Top ricotta toast with tomatoes and rosemary. Enjoy immediately!

Lemon zest, basil, honey and red pepper flakes

Blueberries and pistachios
Spread blueberries out over ricotta toast. I like to mash the berries a bit to release the juices. Garnish with pistachios, and lime zest and enjoy!
Avocado, pumpkin seeds and sesame seeds
Spread avocado out over ricotta toast. Sprinkle with pumpkin seeds and sesame seeds. Garnish with lemon zest. Salt and pepper to taste. Enjoy!
Soft scrambled eggs with capers
Combine eggs and milk in a small bowl, whisk until frothy. Heat small non-stick pan over medium heat, add butter. When the butter is just beginning to bubble, add the egg mixture. When the edges of the egg is just starting to set, using a rubber scrapper, gently swipe the egg across the pan. Don’t flip the egg. Continue to gently swipe the egg across the pan as it cooks. Remove the pan from the burner just as the egg is starting to set. The egg will continue to cook a bit more in the pan.
Spread the soft scrambled eggs out over the ricotta cheese. Top with capers, salt, and pepper. Enjoy!
Radish, scallions and black pepper
Spread radishes out over ricotta toast. Sprinkle scallions over toast. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Enjoy!
Notes
LEFTOVERS/STORAGE: save ricotta in an airtight container in the fridge for up to a week. I recommend toasting bread and preparing toast just before serving for best results. MAKE IT VEGAN: Use vegan ricotta. The scrambled eggs with capers ricotta toast will not be vegan.NUTRITION NOTES: I recommend using whole grain bread. You can opt for lower fat ricotta for fewer calories, but I’m a firm believer that full fat dairy isn’t going to hurt anyone (at least of those who can have dairy). SERVING SUGGESTIONS: Simply multiply the recipe by the number of pieces of toast you’d like and pair different variations together.
