Whipped Ricotta Toast with Vantia Peperonata

Whipped Ricotta Toast with Vantia Peperonata

Ingredients : 

1thick Slice Sourdough Bread

3 Slices Prosciutto 

2 Cups Fresh Ricotta 

1 Tbsp. Honey 

Zest of half a lemon 

Vantia Peperonata 

Salt & Pepper

A handful of Basil or Parlsey (optional) 

Directions: Toast bread until golden brown and crunchy. Drape 3 slices of thinly sliced Prosciutto on bread. This insulates the bread from the ricotta and ensures it remains crunchy.

In a bowl, whip fresh ricotta with honey, lemon zest , salt and pepper. 

Spoon whipped cheese mixture on bread, creating divots with the back of a spoon – this will allow the Peperonata to nestle in. Top the toast with Peperonata. If desired, sprinkle with chopped basil or parsley. 

Serve immediately. Serve 1
