Zusatztipps für die Zubereitung

Using a whisk or hand mixer is essential to achieving that signature airy, cloud-like texture in the ricotta. For the richest flavor, stick with whole-milk ricotta rather than part-skim.

Varianten und Anpassungen

Feel free to experiment with the toppings: try sliced figs, stone fruit, or toasted nuts. For extra crunch, sprinkle with toasted seeds or granola. Use gluten-free bread for a gluten-free version.

Serviervorschläge

Serve these toasts immediately while the bread is still warm. They pair beautifully with a fresh cup of coffee or a citrusy fruit salad for a complete vegetarian breakfast.
