Spring is here, and springtime always makes me think of strawberries. I’ve been eating this Strawberry Ricotta Toast for years now – it first appeared in my cookbook, What a Good Eater!
You’re going to love this one, I promise. It’s super simple.
I’ve made some adjustments over the years: I now use gluten-free bread, and I also swapped the ricotta cheese for cottage cheese. My son and I are both sensitive to lactose, so the cottage cheese is a better choice for us – and surprisingly, so delicious!
Why You’ll Love this Recipe
As I said, this is the perfect way to ring in spring! Fresh strawberries are everywhere right now, but even if you’re reading this during the off-season and can find some fresh strawberries, you won’t be disappointed.
The combo of the strawberries, honey, and creamy cheese make this both sweet and savory.
Strawberries are also high in both collagen and vitamin C, so you can enjoy some of the health benefits of this treat as well. And it’s versatile: it makes for a great breakfast, dessert, of afternoon snack!
Ingredients
Are you ready for the simplicity of this recipe? You’ll need:
- strawberries (like 3, sliced)
