For the Blueberry Compote
- 3/4 cup Blueberries
- Drizzle of honey (approximately 1 tablespoon)
- Juice of 1/2 a Lemon
For the Toast
- 1 Thick Slice of Sourdough Bread
- Olive Oil (for drizzling)
- 1/4 cup Ricotta Cheese
- Lemon zest (for topping, about 1 teaspoon)
- Prepare the Blueberry Compote: Place the blueberries, honey, and lemon juice in a saucepan over medium heat. Stir occasionally as the mixture heats until it thickens to a jam-like consistency, about 8-10 minutes.
- Toast the Bread: Drizzle olive oil on both sides of the sourdough slice. Heat a skillet over medium heat and toast the bread on each side until golden brown and crisp, about 3-4 minutes per side.
- Assemble the Toast: Spread an even layer of ricotta cheese over the toasted bread slice. Spoon the warm blueberry compote evenly on top of the ricotta layer.
- Finish and Serve: Sprinkle lemon zest over the assembled toast for a fresh, aromatic finish. Serve immediately and enjoy the balance of creamy, sweet, and tangy flavors.
Notes
- For extra flavor, you can add a sprinkle of cinnamon or a few fresh mint leaves on top.
- Use fresh lemon zest for the best aroma and taste.
- The blueberry compote can be made in advance and stored in the fridge for up to 3 days.
- Make sure to toast the bread well to prevent sogginess once the ricotta and compote are added.
- Adjust the amount of honey in the compote to your preferred sweetness level.
