Method
Spread a thin layer of butter6 on the bread.
Toast the bread in a dry skillet for 1–2 minutes per side until golden and crisp.
Slice the strawberries3 into wedges and tear the mint finely by hand.
Spread a smooth layer of ricotta2 over the toast.
Arrange the strawberries3 on top, drizzle with honey, and sprinkle with mint.
Serve immediately while the bread stays crisp.
Tips
- Why it works
- Toast the bread in a dry pan without oil so it doesn't get greasy or lose its crunch. If you add oil, the toast turns soft.
- Substitutions
- Use frozen strawberries instead, thawed and patted dry with a paper towel. Use farmer's cheese instead of ricotta, but it will be firmer.
- Common mistakes
- If the strawberries release juice and go soft, you sliced them too thin or made the toast too early. The bread should stay dry.
- Storing and reheating
- Eat right away, don't store. If you do leave it, the toast goes soft after 1–2 hours and the honey crystallizes.
- Serve with
- Serve for weekend breakfast or as a light dessert after lunch with tea. Pair with coffee or green tea.
