Description

Fresh Fruit and Honey Ricotta Toast is a bright, creamy, and wholesome breakfast featuring whipped ricotta, juicy citrus, honey, and crunchy pistachios. This easy 15-minute recipe is perfect for busy mornings, elegant brunches, or a light afternoon snack. With its balance of flavor and texture, it turns simple ingredients into a gourmet experience.

Ingredients

Scale
  • ⅔ cup whole milk ricotta cheese – creamy and smooth base
  • 1 tablespoon honey – adds natural sweetness
  • ¼ teaspoon pure vanilla extract – enhances flavor and aroma
  • ⅛ teaspoon ground nutmeg (optional) – adds warmth
  • 4 slices rustic whole-grain bread – hearty and crisp foundation
  • 2 Cara Cara oranges – juicy, bright fruit topping
  • 1 teaspoon honey (for drizzling, optional) – glossy finish
  • 2 tablespoons pistachios, chopped – adds crunch and color
  • 1 teaspoon crushed pink peppercorns (optional) – subtle spice and aroma

Instructions

  1. In a bowl, combine ricotta cheese, honey, vanilla extract, and nutmeg. Use a hand mixer or food processor to whip until smooth and creamy.
  2. Peel and segment the oranges. For a refined look, supreme them by removing the membranes and pith.
  3. Toast the slices of whole-grain bread until golden and crisp.
  4. Spread a generous layer of whipped ricotta on each slice of toast.
  5. Top with orange segments, arranging them evenly across the ricotta layer.
  6. Sprinkle chopped pistachios and crushed pink peppercorns on top.
  7. Drizzle lightly with honey and serve immediately for the best texture and flavor.

Notes

  • Do not overwhip ricotta to prevent grainy texture.
  • Use canned mandarin oranges as a quick substitute; reduce honey if they’re packed in syrup.
  • Whipped ricotta can be prepared 1–2 days ahead and stored in the fridge.
  • Eat assembled toasts immediately to avoid sogginess.
  • For a vegan version, use almond or cashew ricotta and agave syrup instead of honey.
