Roasted Strawberry Ricotta Toast Recipes

ROASTED STRAWBERRY RICOTTA TOAST

Steps:

• First make your vegan ricotta cheese. It's recommended that you make it the day before, but not mandatory. You will want to soak your almonds overnight, or alternatively you can boil them for 15 minutes.
• Drain and rinse the almonds then add to a high-speed blender/food processor.
• Add the other ingredients to the blender also, making sure to only spoon the solid cream part of the coconut milk into the blender.
• Blend on high until it's very smooth and creamy with no almond chunks left. Stop and scrape down the sides as needed.
• You can enjoy the ricotta now, but I recommend you follow the next steps and let it set up overnight.
• Lay out a kitchen towel and then add a few large pieces of paper towel over top of the kitchen towel.
• Spoon the ricotta cheese onto a few large pieces of paper towel, then wrap it all up and let it set up in the fridge overnight. Alternatively, you can use cheesecloth if you have it.
• Keep stored in the refrigerator for about 2 weeks.
• Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Add all strawberries, maple syrup, vanilla, and salt in a large bowl and stir. Pour onto a sprayed baking sheet and roast for 20 minutes.
• Toast your favorite bread.
• Spread vegan ricotta cheese over top.
• Add roasted straweberries.
• Garnish with fresh basil leaves.
• Drizzle with honey, agave, or maple syrup.

RICOTTA STRAWBERRY FRENCH TOAST

Steps:

• In a wide dish, whisk the egg, milk and vanilla together. Coat one side of the bread slices in the liquid, then carefully flip them over and leave them to soak for 1-2 mins.
• Melt 1 tbsp of the butter in a large non-stick pan over a medium heat and add two slices of bread. Cook for 5 mins or until golden, then turn to cook the other side for another 5 mins. Transfer to a plate and cook the other two slices in the rest of the butter.
• Halve the toast on the diagonal and spread each slice with the ricotta. Drizzle over the honey and a pinch of flaky sea salt, and arrange some sliced strawberries in a fan across the toast. Decorate the plate with the halved strawberries and mint.
