Ingredients
4 thick slices sourdough bread
1 cup whole milk ricotta cheese
2 cups red seedless grapes
2 tablespoons honey plus more for drizzling
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves
1 teaspoon lemon zest
1/4 teaspoon flaky sea salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
2 tablespoons toasted breadcrumbs
Instructions
Preheat oven to 400°F. Toss grapes with olive oil, honey, thyme, and salt on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Roast for 18 to 20 minutes until blistered and caramelized.
Add ricotta, lemon zest, salt, and pepper to a food processor. Blend for 2 to 3 minutes until smooth and airy.
Brush sourdough slices with olive oil and toast in a hot cast iron pan for 2 to 3 minutes per side until golden with light charring.
Spread a thick layer of whipped ricotta evenly over each slice of toast.
Spoon roasted grapes and their juices over the ricotta.
Finish with a drizzle of honey, flaky sea salt, thyme, and toasted breadcrumbs. Serve immediately.
Notes
Use high-quality ricotta for the creamiest texture.
Try swapping thyme with rosemary for a different herb profile.
Best served immediately while the toast is warm and crisp.
