Ingredients
  

1 cup fresh ricotta cheese

Zest of 1 lemon

2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice

2 tablespoons honey (or maple syrup for a vegan option)

1/4 teaspoon sea salt

4 slices of your favorite bread (sourdough, whole grain, or gluten-free)

Extra virgin olive oil, for drizzling

Fresh mint leaves, for garnish

Optional: sliced strawberries or blueberries for topping

Instructions
 

Prepare the Ricotta Mixture: In a medium mixing bowl, combine the ricotta cheese, lemon zest, lemon juice, honey (or maple syrup), and sea salt. Stir until the mixture is smooth and well-blended. Taste and adjust sweetness if needed by adding more honey.

    Toast the Bread: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Place the slices of bread on a baking sheet and drizzle with olive oil. Toast in the oven for about 8-10 minutes or until golden brown, flipping halfway through for even toasting.

      Assemble the Toast: Once the bread is toasted, remove it from the oven. Allow it to cool slightly before spreading a generous layer of the creamy lemon ricotta mixture on each slice.

        Garnish: Drizzle a bit more olive oil over the ricotta spread. If desired, top with fresh mint leaves and sliced strawberries or blueberries for added color and flavor.

          Serve: Enjoy your delicious creamy lemon ricotta toast as a refreshing breakfast or a delightful snack!
