Ingredients
  

1 pint fresh strawberries, hulled and halved

2 tablespoons honey

1 teaspoon balsamic vinegar

1 cup ricotta cheese

1 tablespoon lemon zest

1 tablespoon fresh basil, finely chopped (plus more for garnish)

4 slices of rustic bread (such as sourdough or whole grain)

Olive oil for brushing

Salt to taste

Freshly cracked black pepper (optional)

Instructions
 

Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).

    In a bowl, combine the halved strawberries, honey, and balsamic vinegar. Toss until the strawberries are well coated.

      Spread the strawberries on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper in a single layer. Roast in the oven for about 20 minutes or until the strawberries are soft and caramelized.

        While the strawberries are roasting, prepare the whipped ricotta. In a mixing bowl, combine the ricotta cheese, lemon zest, and chopped basil. Use a hand mixer or whisk to whip the mixture until it is light and fluffy. Season with a pinch of salt to taste.

          For the toast, brush both sides of the bread slices with olive oil and season lightly with salt. Place the slices on a separate baking sheet and toast them in the oven for 5-7 minutes or until golden brown and crispy.

            Once everything is ready, spread a generous layer of the whipped ricotta on each slice of toasted bread.

              Top each toast with the roasted strawberries, spooning some of the syrupy juices over the top.

                Finish with a sprinkle of fresh basil and, if desired, a few cracks of black pepper for a hint of warmth.
