Ingredients
  

For the Toast
  • 2 slices Thick-Cut Sourdough Bread Stale bread works best!
  • a pinch Flaky Sea Salt Enhances flavor contrast.
For the Ricotta Spread
  • 1 cup Whole-Milk Ricotta Cheese Greek yogurt can be used for a lighter option.
  • 2 tablespoons Wildflower Honey Use high-quality honey.
  • 1 teaspoon Freshly Grated Lemon Zest Use a microplane for easy zesting.
  • 1/2 teaspoon Ground Cinnamon Optional, but complements the sweetness.
For the Topping
  • 1 medium Bartlett or Bosc Pears Use ripe ones for the best flavor.
  • 2 tablespoons Toasted Chopped Pistachios Optional, for nutty crunch.
  • a few Fresh Mint Leaves For garnish.

Equipment

  • Skillet
  • Mixing bowl
  • Spatula

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat a skillet or griddle over medium heat. Brush both sides of thick-cut sourdough bread with olive oil. Place the slices on the skillet and toast for 2-3 minutes until golden-brown and crisp.
  2. In a mixing bowl, combine whole-milk ricotta cheese, a generous drizzle of wildflower honey, freshly grated lemon zest, and a pinch of ground cinnamon. Blend until the mixture is smooth and glossy.
  3. Spread the ricotta mixture over each slice of toasted sourdough. Thinly slice ripe pears and arrange them artfully on top. Drizzle with any leftover honey.
  4. Sprinkle a pinch of flaky sea salt over each toast. Add toasted chopped pistachios and garnish with fresh mint leaves. Serve immediately.
