Whipped Ricotta Toast with Strawberries and Honey

This whipped ricotta toast with strawberries is definitely a showstopper.Big waves of creamy, vanilla-flecked whipped ricotta atop toast, with ultra-ripe strawberries on top. I got this idea from Misi restaurant in NYC (good picture of the toast here), where whipped ricotta toast is served in a more savory fashion, with marinated peppers to plop on top. I heard about this toast on the Bon Appetit food podcast and immediately looked up a picture. It just looked so ethereal that I knew I had to try my hand at making my own version. I found tiny, super-sweet strawberries at the farmers’ market and knew I had to take that toast in a more sweet direction. You can use store-bought ricotta, just make sure to use the best quality you can find. Otherwise, you can make homemade ricotta, which I was I did for this version. It’s so easy and the quality is far superior to most store-bought versions. And don’t dare make this unless you have super-sweet, ultra-ripe strawberries! If you can’t find them, substitute with another ripe fruit and I’m sure it will be just as good. You could serve this for breakfast, brunch, dessert or for a sweet snack. No one will be complaining no matter what time of day it hits the table!
