Blueberry Ricotta Toast with Hot Honey
Preparation time: 10 minutes | Serves: 1-2 people
If you’re looking for a sweet, spicy and incredibly delicious breakfast or snack, you can’t go past my Blueberry Ricotta Toast with hot honey. Inspired by the textures and flavours of blueberry cheesecake with a touch of heat, all you need is 10 minutes to make this at home.
Blueberry cheesecake has always been a weakness of mine, so when I first made this recipe, which essentially combined all of the elements of a cheesecake - a crunchy base, creamy topping, blueberries, and drizzles of honey for sweetness, I was sold.
Why you’ll love this recipe -
Hot Honey + Berries = A match made in heaven.
The hot honey is a welcome addition to this berry-laden toast, bringing out the sweetness of the fruit and flavouring the otherwise (let's be honest) bland ricotta.
Flaky salt and walnuts add a beautiful crunch, and the whole thing is a marvellous play of textures and flavours that come together in every delightful bite.

Method
Combine the honey and chilli flakes in a small bowl.
Microwave for for 20 seconds and stir to combine. Set aside to infuse.
Toast the sourdough to your liking and spread generously with ricotta.
Top with fresh blueberries (I like to halve mine so they don’t roll around).
Give the honey a good stir, then drizzle on your toast.
Sprinkle with flaky salt and crushed walnuts (if using). Serve immediately.
