A Floral Whipped Ricotta Toast with Lemon Curd & Honey
Total Time :5 minutes
Yields :8 servings
Ingredients
- 1 15 ounces container whole milk ricotta cheese
- 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil plus more as needed
- Zest of 1 lemon more for garnish
- Kosher salt and black pepper to taste
- 1 bunch fresh herbs such as oregano, basil, and/or thyme
- Edible flowers
- Pink dragonfruit powder if achieving pink color
- Lemon curd
- Honey for garnish
Instructions
- In a food processor or stand mixer, combine the ricotta cheese, olive oil, lemon zest, and salt and pepper. You can also add in some fresh herbs at this time as well.
- Process until smooth and creamy. You might need to scrape down the sides a few times to incorporate it evenly. If you are going to want to make it pink, simply add a couple scoops of dragonfruit powder. Process until you get your desired color. Start small and work more into if you need.
- Transfer the whipped ricotta to a bowl. Take your toasts and grill them up. When ready to serve, pipe your ricotta cheese on top of the grilled toasts. Then garnish with a dollop of lemon curd, drizzle of honey, and lastly fresh herbs and edible flowers. You can even combine the ricotta cheese mixture into a piping bag along with the lemon curd to create a fun swirl effect like I did here. Simply, put in equal parts mixture and lemon curd side by side into a piping bag. Serve right away!
