Method

Whip the lemon ricotta

In a small bowl, stir the ricotta with the honey, lemon zest, vanilla, and a pinch of salt until smooth and creamy. Taste and adjust the sweetness or zest.

Toast the bread

Butter or oil both sides of the bread and toast in a skillet over medium heat 2 to 3 minutes per side, until golden and crisp, or use a toaster. Let it cool slightly.

Toss berries and assemble

Toss the blueberries with the lemon juice and rest 2 to 3 minutes. Spread the ricotta generously over each slice, top with the blueberries, drizzle with honey, and sprinkle extra lemon zest. Serve right away.
