Making Valentine Ricotta Toasts with Macerated Berries is a breeze if you follow these simple steps:
1. Prepare the Berries: In a bowl, combine the mixed berries with honey or maple syrup, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. Gently toss to coat. Let the berries sit for about 10 minutes to macerate.
2. Toast the Bread: While the berries are macerating, toast the slices of bread until golden brown and crispy.
3. Spread the Ricotta: Once the bread is toasted, spread a generous layer of fresh ricotta cheese on each slice.
4. Top with Berries: Spoon the macerated berries over the ricotta, allowing the juices to drizzle down onto the toast.
5. Garnish: If desired, add a few fresh mint leaves on top for added flavor and color.
6. Serve Immediately: Enjoy your Valentine Ricotta Toasts while they’re fresh and warm!
