Move over avocado! This roasted cherry ricotta toast is the new breakfast staple! Make it sweet or savory for your next morning routine!
1 pound cherries, pitted and stems removed
1/4 cup pure honey or maple syrup
1/4 cup unsalted raw almonds, chopped
1/2 cup whole milk ricotta cheese
12 slices rustic bread
Salt to taste
Preheat oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit. Spread cherries on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or other non-stick lining. Drizzle with one tablespoon honey or maple syrup. Bake in the oven for 10-15 minutes or until the cherries are softened. With 5 minutes remaining, add the almonds to the baking sheet to toast.
While the cherries are roasting, toast the bread (2 slices at a time) to your preference in a toaster or toaster oven. Once done, spread the ricotta cheese as you would with other spreads. Set aside.
Once the cherries and almonds are done, spoon cherries over the toast. Set aside the almonds to let cool. Chop the almonds then top on the toast. Drizzle remaining honey. Salt to taste.
If you want to cut cooking time, use pre-roasted almonds for this dish.
Are you a savory eater? Try using some balsamic vinegar and fresh basil for toppings instead of the honey!
This recipe can easily be individualized to one. Just save the remaining cherries and ricotta toast in the refrigerator. The cherries can be stored for 3 days; ricotta cheese stored based on manufacturer's recommendation (usually 5 days after opening).
