Servings 6
- 1 cup fresh strawberries or handful
- 6 slices of baguettes
- ½ cup ricotta cheese full fat
- 2 tbsp balsamic vinegar
- 4 tbsp olive oil extra virgin
- pinch of salt and pepper
- 1 stem Italian basil
- 1 clove garlic
In a large pan, drizzle 2 TBSP of olive oil into the pan and toast the sliced baguettes for 3 minutes on medium heat or until golden brown and crispy. I toast mine on a cast iron pan.
While the baguettes are toasting, prepare the strawberry topping. Mince the garlic, dice up strawberries, and chop basil leaves. Combine in a bowl.
Drizzle the remaining olive oil, balsamic vinegar, cracked black pepper and salt into the bowl with the strawberries. Toss together.
Transfer the toast onto a plate and spread ricotta cheese generously. Can use more or less! Spoon the strawberry salad onto toasts. Enjoy!
