Toast to the flag - with ricotta & berries

June 30, 2020

Toast to the flag - with ricotta & berries . We are coming up on July 4th and I’m in a Red White and Blue kinda mood. Starting the day off with a nice steaming cup of coffee and toast! Not your ordinary, run of the mill toast... but this easy healthy fix, that not just makes for a wholesome breakfast but also has the versatility to adorn your 4th themed barbecue tables as an appetizer or simply becomes a healthy afternoon snack for the kids! . 4 steps for the perfect appetizer for the 4th: 1) Toast up any bread of choice - plain white, multigrain, mini toasts, sliced baguette, crostini... choice is yours. 2) Whip ricotta cheese in a bowl till smooth and layer on toast. 3) Top with berries or fruits of your choice. 4) Drizzle some honey or balsamic reduction. Note: balsamic will add brown to your plate, while honey will keep it relatively white. Also honey adds a light sweetness while balsamic will give a combination of sweet and tart. . There you have it. An easy add to the Red White and Blue theme and can be made in less than 15 minutes! Plus the eye catching bonus - the colorful platedexpressions. . Make it. Share it.
