Fresh Ricotta & Radish Toast
SERVES: 1-2 | PREP TIME: 5 MIN | COOK TIME: 15 MIN
This is my new favorite “toast'“.
And I put toast in quotations because I mean the fancy kind. The boushie stuff you order at restaurants, or make at home with avocado roses. I’m definitely not talking smack, I’m just calling out the cultural phenomenon. This version is the farmer’s market toast you didn’t know you needed in your life. Fresh, homemade ricotta (surprisingly easy, don’t be intimidated), spicy crunchy radishes, chewy crusty bread, seasonings and a little too much olive oil, make this snack an absolute dream.
I highly recommend using the following ingredients:
Flaked salt. Because it adds pops of salt which make this thing a thing.
Fresh ricotta. It’s easy and literally tastes like a heavenly cloud of fluffy, slightly sweet, a little salty, dairy goodness.
Olive bread. I love a good briny food, and olive bread just offers a nice dynamic taste. If you can’t find it or don’t like olives, go for a sourdough.
