The Honey-glazed Pear and Ricotta Toast is a delightful and nutritious breakfast or snack option that combines the natural sweetness of pears with creamy ricotta cheese. This dish is not only delicious but also quick and easy to prepare, making it perfect for a busy morning or a light afternoon treat.
Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Start by toasting the two slices of whole-wheat bread until they are golden brown and crispy. You can use a toaster or a toaster oven for this step.
- While the bread is toasting, wash and dry the pear. Using a sharp knife, cut the pear into thin slices. There is no need to peel the pear unless you prefer it without the skin.
- Once the bread is toasted, spread 1/4 cup (55g) of ricotta cheese on each slice, covering the surface evenly. The creamy ricotta will serve as a delicious base for the pear.
- Place the thinly sliced pear segments on top of the ricotta-covered toast, arranging them in a single layer. Try to spread the slices evenly for the best presentation and taste.
- Finally, drizzle 1/2 tsp of honey over each slice of toast. The honey will add a subtle sweetness and a lovely glaze to the pears.
- Serve the Honey-Glazed Pear and Ricotta Toast immediately while the toast is still warm and the ricotta is creamy.
Tips:
- Choose a ripe pear for the best flavor and natural sweetness. Bosc or Bartlett pears work particularly well for this recipe.
- Toast the whole-wheat bread until it’s golden brown to add a crispy texture that complements the creamy ricotta.
- Drizzle the honey just before serving to maintain its viscosity and sweetness.
- For added flavor, sprinkle a pinch of cinnamon or nutmeg over the pears before adding them to the toast.
- Consider adding a few crushed nuts like walnuts or pecans on top for an extra crunch and nutritional boost.
