What goes with ricotta?

Honestly ricotta is so mild that it really pairs well with any of your favorite toast toppings! My personal favorite is roasted tomatoes with garlic, but you could also try pesto, sliced fruit, or honey and walnuts!

What does ricotta taste like?

Ricotta cheese is super mild in flavor which is what makes it so versatile! It is smooth and thick so it lends itself well to savory dishes like lasagna or sweet dishes like baked ricotta with honey and walnuts!

Notes

This tomato toast recipe works well with grape tomatoes that are past their prime. Even if they’re a bit wrinkled and looking a little sad, the quick toss of olive oil and roast in the oven will plump them up and bring them back to life!

Use whole milk ricotta for these tomato toasts! Part-skim will work if that’s all you’ve got on hand, but whole milk ricotta has more fat and as we all know, fat equals flavor!

A good quality olive oil is going to go a long way in bringing extra flavor to this super simple recipe. Because the ingredient list is so short, it’s important to use high-quality olive oil. You don’t have to spend $50 on a bottle. Just look for something that is cold-pressed and organic. Then try a few different kinds until you find the flavor you enjoy the most!
