4.5 from 52 reviews

A delightful and refreshing Lemon Blueberry Ricotta Toast that combines the creamy richness of ricotta cheese with the vibrant flavors of a homemade blueberry lemon compote, served atop toasted sourdough bread for a perfect breakfast or snack.

Ingredients

Scale

For the Blueberry Lemon Compote

  • 3/4 cup Blueberries
  • Drizzle of honey (approximately 1 tablespoon)
  • Juice of 1/2 a Lemon

For the Toast

  • 1 Thick Slice of Sourdough Bread
  • Olive Oil (for drizzling)
  • 1/4 cup Ricotta Cheese
  • Lemon zest (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Blueberry Lemon Compote: In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine the blueberries, honey, and freshly squeezed lemon juice. Stir frequently and cook until the mixture thickens to a jam-like consistency, about 8-10 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside.
  2. Toast the Bread: Drizzle olive oil on both sides of the sourdough slice. Heat a skillet over medium heat and toast the bread slice, about 2-3 minutes per side, until golden brown and slightly crispy.
  3. Assemble the Toast: Spread an even layer of ricotta cheese onto the toasted bread while still warm. Spoon the blueberry lemon compote generously over the ricotta layer.
  4. Garnish and Serve: Finish with a sprinkle of fresh lemon zest on top for added brightness and flavor. Serve immediately and enjoy your vibrant Lemon Blueberry Ricotta Toast.

Notes

  • You can adjust the amount of honey in the compote to make it sweeter or more tart based on your preference.
  • For a vegan version, substitute ricotta cheese with a plant-based alternative.
  • Use fresh lemons and blueberries for the best flavor impact.
  • If you prefer a crispier toast, you can use a toaster oven instead of a skillet.
  • The compote can be made ahead and refrigerated for up to 3 days.
