Toast with Ricotta, Blueberries, and Lemon

Directions

1. 1

   Step 1

   

   Take the blueberries out of the freezer. There's no need to thaw the berries. Prepare a grater, a saucepan, a frying pan, and a whisk.

2. 2

   Step 2

   

   Place the blueberries in the saucepan. Add the honey and squeeze the juice from half of the lemon. Grate the zest from the half lemon and add most of it to the saucepan. Place the saucepan over medium heat and cook the berries until thickened. This will take about 10 minutes.

   TipIf the mixture doesn't want to thicken, you can add 1 tsp of cornstarch dissolved in 1 tbsp of water.

3. 3

   Step 3

   

   Heat the frying pan with olive oil. Toast the bread slices all at once or one by one until lightly golden. It's enough to heat them for 1 minute per side. Let the toasts cool slightly.

   Step 4

   

   Lightly whip the ricotta with a whisk or mixer. The cheese will become more airy. Spread the whipped ricotta on the toasts.

   Step 5

   

   Top the cheese with the blueberry jam. Garnish the toasts with the reserved zest and serve with freshly brewed tea or coffee.
