Okay, I admit… Winter is not even over yet and I’m already in Spring mode. Call it wishful thinking I suppose! This is one of those recipes that’s so easy, yet so delicious. Perfect for so many occasions. Everything from a quick lunch to an easy appetiser for your next spring gathering. And it’s versatile too!

Grill the sourdough bread with olive oil until it’s toasted and lightly charring on the edges.

For the tomatoes, I simply toss them with olive oil, garlic, salt and pepper and roast for about 10 minutes until they are quite literally ‘bursting’ with flavour.

Whip the ricotta with some lemon zest, salt and pepper in a food processor or blender until creamy. That’s it!

Finally, my favourite accompaniment – spicy honey. It’s the best, especially with creamy whipped ricotta. It adds a sweet and spicy element that pairs well with the cheese. You can by spicy honey at the grocery store but if you want to make it yourself simply warm however much honey you want in a small pan and add chilli flakes. Let them infuse for a few minutes before removing from the heat.

While tomatoes are my go-to for this, all fresh fruits or even fruity jams would be delicious too. Peaches would be amazing too. YUM!
