# Top Tips:

01 -
  • The contrast between crispy toast and silky ricotta happens in your mouth in the most satisfying way.
  • It looks like you spent actual time on it, even though you genuinely didn't.
  • Works just as well for impressing someone as it does for treating yourself on a quiet morning.
02 -
  • If your ricotta looks grainy or separated, you've likely overmixed it or your honey was too cold; just start fresh with a gentle hand next time.
  • The bread has to be truly crispy or everything becomes a textural letdown; don't be timid with your toaster.
03 -
  • Make your ricotta mixture ahead of time and keep it in the fridge; it'll actually taste better the next day as the lemon and honey flavors meld.
  • If you're making this for guests, toast the bread and prep everything else, then assemble just before serving so you can control the texture and temperature.
