4.9 from 106 reviews

A delightful and refreshing Lemon Blueberry Ricotta Toast featuring homemade blueberry compote, creamy ricotta, and zesty lemon on perfectly toasted sourdough bread. This easy-to-make recipe combines sweet, tangy, and creamy flavors for a perfect breakfast or snack.

Ingredients

Scale

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)

Instructions

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
