How to Serve Irresistibly Creamy Roasted Strawberry Whipped Ricotta Toast

Serve the toast warm or at room temperature. Sprinkle a little extra thyme on top for a fresh touch, or drizzle with more honey if you like it sweeter. This toast pairs beautifully with a cup of coffee or tea.

How to Store Irresistibly Creamy Roasted Strawberry Whipped Ricotta Toast

To store leftovers, keep the whipped ricotta and roasted strawberries in separate airtight containers in the fridge. The bread can be stored wrapped in foil or in a bread bag. Assemble the toast again when you’re ready to eat, as the bread will lose its crunch.

  • Make sure your strawberries are ripe for the best flavor.

A: Yes! You can use dairy-free ricotta or a nut-based cheese spread to make this toast suitable for a dairy-free diet.

Q: How long can I keep the leftovers?
