Zucchini Ricotta Toasts
Creamy, citrusy ricotta and zucchini toasts that taste like summer on a plate.
Ingredients:
- 1 small baguette sliced
- 1 cup ricotta cheese
- Zest of 1 lemon
- 1 tbsp lemon juice
- 1 medium zucchini
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Fresh basil or thyme leaves for garnish (optional)
Instructions:
- Grill the bread: Lightly brush baguette slices with olive oil and grill or toast until golden and crisp. Set aside.
- Make the lemony ricotta: In a small bowl, mix the ricotta with lemon zest, lemon juice, salt, and pepper to taste.
- Prepare zucchini ribbons: Use a vegetable peeler to shave zucchini into thin ribbons. Sauté in a bit of olive oil over medium heat for 2–3 minutes, just until softened. Season with salt and pepper.
- Assemble toasts: Spread a generous layer of lemony ricotta on each toast. Top with warm zucchini ribbons.
- Garnish (optional): Finish with a few fresh basil leaves or a sprinkle of thyme. Serve warm or at room temperature—perfect for a relaxed evening or casual gathering.
