Lemon Berry Ricotta Toast

Creamy ricotta cheese keeps fresh, sweet berries in place in this quick and simple breakfast. Good, crusty whole-grain bread will make all the difference here. Blueberries, strawberries, blackberries or a mix of the three all work well.

Ingredients

  1. ¼ cup whole-milk ricotta cheese
  2. 2 teaspoons pure maple syrup
  3. ½ teaspoon lemon zest plus 1/4 teaspoon, divided
  4. 2 slices whole-grain bread, toasted
  5. ½ cup fresh berries, such as blueberries, strawberries and/or blackberries

Directions

  1. Mix ricotta, maple syrup and 1/2 teaspoon lemon zest in a small bowl. Spread onto 1 side of each toast slice. Top each toast with 1/4 cup berries and sprinkle with 1/8 teaspoon lemon zest.
