Ingredients
  

2 ripe pears, thinly sliced

1 cup fresh ricotta cheese

2 tablespoons honey (plus extra for drizzling)

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 teaspoon lemon juice

4 slices of crusty bread (like sourdough or ciabatta)

1 tablespoon olive oil

A pinch of salt

A handful of chopped walnuts (optional, for crunch)

Fresh mint leaves for garnish (optional)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Ricotta Spread: In a medium bowl, combine the ricotta cheese, honey, vanilla extract, lemon juice, and a pinch of salt. Mix until smooth and creamy. Taste and adjust sweetness if desired.

    Toast the Bread: Preheat a skillet or grill pan over medium heat. Brush each side of the bread slices with olive oil. Toast the slices in the pan for about 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown and crispy.

      Assemble the Toast: Spread a generous layer of honey ricotta on each slice of toasted bread.

        Add the Pears: Top the ricotta with the thinly sliced pears, arranging them artistically for a beautiful presentation.

          Finish with Nuts & Honey: If using, sprinkle chopped walnuts on top for added texture. Drizzle additional honey over the completed toast, and garnish with fresh mint leaves for a pop of color and freshness.

            Serve: Enjoy your elegant Pear & Honey Ricotta Toast as a delightful breakfast, brunch, or snack!
