Ingredients
- 2 slices of bread
- 1/2 cup ricotta cheese
- 1 egg
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup fresh raspberries
- Powdered sugar (for dusting)
Instructions
- In a medium mixing bowl, combine ricotta cheese, egg, honey, and vanilla extract. Whisk thoroughly until the mixture is smooth and fully integrated, creating a creamy custard base.
- Lightly toast the bread slices until they are golden brown and have a crisp exterior. Allow the toast to cool slightly for 1-2 minutes to prevent soggy results.
- Spread the prepared ricotta custard mixture evenly across both toast slices, ensuring complete and consistent coverage from edge to edge.
- Gently arrange fresh raspberries on top of the custard layer, distributing them evenly across the surface of each toast slice.
- Place the prepared toast under a broiler or in a preheated oven at 400°F (200°C) for 3-4 minutes, watching carefully to prevent burning. The custard should become slightly puffy and golden.
- Remove from heat and let cool for 2 minutes to allow the custard to set slightly.
- Dust the toast generously with powdered sugar using a fine mesh sifter for an elegant finish.
- Serve immediately while warm, garnishing with additional fresh raspberries if desired.
Tips
- Use room temperature ingredients for the smoothest custard mixture
- Choose thick-cut, high-quality bread for the best texture and crispiness
- Watch the broiler carefully to prevent burning - those golden edges are delicious, but can quickly turn to char
- For extra richness, use full-fat ricotta cheese
- If fresh raspberries aren't in season, frozen can work but pat them dry first
- A fine mesh sifter is key for that Instagram-worthy powdered sugar dusting
- Serve immediately for the best taste and presentation
- Experiment with different honey varieties for subtle flavor variations
