Make it at Home: Whipped Ricotta & Tomato Toast Recipe

Ingredients


Marinated Tomatoes
2 cups cherry tomatoes, halved
3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
1/2 cup fresh basil, roughly chopped
2 tablespoons fresh thyme leaves
1 clove garlic, grated
kosher salt and black pepper

Lemon Thyme Honey
1/4 cup honey
2 tablespoons fresh thyme leaves
1-2 tablespoons lemon juice

Ricotta + Toast
1 loaf Rize Up sourdough bread, sliced
2 cups whole milk ricotta cheese from Bellwether Farms


Instructions
1. To make the tomatoes, combine all ingredients in a bowl and season to taste with salt and pepper. Let sit 10-15 minutes or up to overnight in the fridge. Bring to room temp before serving.
2. To make the honey, combine all ingredients in a glass jar. Season with salt and black pepper.
3. Whip the ricotta in a food processor until smooth and creamy. Season with salt. The ricotta can be kept in the fridge for up to 3 days.

"I love making a big batch of caponata in the summer to have in my fridge all week. It’s great with pretty much anything- meat, fish, toast, fried eggs, cheese- it’s just delish! This recipe makes things a bit easier by roasted the eggplant and folding it in at the end. Traditionally, pine nuts are mixed in but I like garnishing with almonds since we live in the almond mecca and this way they add nice crunch to the dish. Caponata is better made at least a day in advance as well to allow the flavors to meld together. Even people who are weary of eggplant won’t be able to resist the sweet, tart and rich flavor of this caponata!"
