Whipped Ricotta Toast—The Creamy, Crispy Snack You Didn't Know You Needed

A thick slice of toasted bread, a generous swipe of herby whipped ricotta, a spoonful of roasted tomatoes, and a drizzle of olive oil—it’s rich, bright, and shockingly light. This toast gives brunch café vibes, but you can make it in under 10 minutes at home.

 A Fancy Toast That Feels Fresh, Not HeavyWe all love a good toast moment, but most café toasts are secretly loaded with butter, excess cheese, and oils that don’t leave you feeling great. This version flips the script: part protein-packed cottage cheese, part creamy ricotta, and just enough olive oil to feel indulgent without overdoing it.

The sweet roasted tomatoes add richness without needing bacon or sausage on the side, and the microgreens? That’s just your daily dose of class.

🍞 Ingredients Breakdown:

• Whole grain sourdough or rustic bread (toasted)

• Ricotta cheese (low-fat if you’d like)

• Cottage cheese (for extra protein, blended in)

• Garlic, lemon zest, and chives

• Roasted cherry tomatoes

• Microgreens or fresh herbs

• Olive oil

• Salt & pepper

  
  

🔥 Step-by-Step Instructions:

1. Blend the base: In a blender or bowl, mix ricotta, cottage cheese, lemon zest, garlic, and chives until smooth.

2. Toast your bread: A good crusty slice makes all the difference—pan-toast it if you don’t have a toaster.

3. Roast the tomatoes: Toss cherry tomatoes with olive oil, salt, and bake at 400°F for 10–15 mins.

4. Assemble: Spread the whipped ricotta mix over warm toast, top with roasted tomatoes, and a few sprigs of microgreens.

5. Finish: Drizzle with olive oil, a pinch of lemon zest, and cracked pepper.
