Ingredients:
Ricotta: Ricotta is an Italian whey cheese made from milk whey leftover from the production of other cheeses. It’s made by coagulating the proteins that remain after the casein has been used to make cheese.
Blistered Olives: The art of making blistered olives really involves putting olives, and spices in a pan and cooking them until they blister. They are great warm or cold and serve as a great topping on this ricotta toast.
How to make ricotta toast:
- Heat a pan over medium-high heat and add the green olives, red wine vinegar, lemon zest, salt, cracked black pepper, garlic powder, minced onion, chili flakes, basil, dill, and chives.
- Mix the ingredients and cook for 5 – 10 minutes, until the olives are blistered, soft and fragrant.
- Remove from the heat and allow it to cool slightly while preparing the whipped ricotta.
- Add the ricotta, olive oil, lemon juice, and salt to a food processor.
- Blend until the ricotta mixture is smooth and light.
- Transfer to a piping bag with an angled tip OR if using a disposable bag, cut the end on an angle.
- To pipe the ricotta, move in a zig-zag motion and make sure that the longer part of the angle is on the bottom. This will create a beautiful effect on your toast.
- Next, evenly divide the roasted olives on each slice of toast.
- Add extra fresh dill and chives, then drizzle both slices with honey and enjoy this deliciousness!
Expert Tips & FAQ:
Swap olives for tomatoes: To add extra yumminess to this dish, you can add cherry tomatoes to the blistered olives, or use tomatoes instead!
Storage: Store assembled toasts in the fridge for up to 1 day. You can prepare all of these ingredients ahead of time for quick toast assembly! FRESH IS BEST!
Bread: Use any other bread of your choice or gluten-free bread. Even use a bagel!
I don’t like ricotta! Instead of ricotta, you can enjoy this toast with whipped feta or cream cheese. You can swap the ricotta for your favorite dairy-free substitute.
