What’s In This Ricotta and Honey Spread Recipe?
I cook with fresh produce from my garden and from Misfits Market– they sell fantastic fruit, vegetables, & pantry staples at a discounted price. We get Misfit boxes every other week and love picking out favorite produce for delivery. Get $10 off your first box here!
- Sandwich Bread – use a gluten free bread if you can’t eat wheat. I like to make my own bread, and they have some great artisan bread gluten free mixes out there too!
- Ricotta Cheese – this creamy and irresistible ricotta cheese is a fantastic base layer for this toast! I’ll also include a vegan version in the recipe card below if you don’t eat dairy… but if you DO eat dairy I’d highly recommend this delicious whole milk ricotta.
- Raw Honey: We use our own honey, straight out of the beehives for us! As beekeepers, we have plenty of raw honey so I try to use it in all my recipes instead of sugar. I’d recommend trying a local farmers market to find the best raw honey in your area. Or else, this raw organic honey online here is the next best thing.
- Pink Himalayan Sea Salt: I like to use a pink Himalayan Sea Salt in my kitchen.
- Cinnamon: which gives this spread a subtle spice-y flavor! I love to add in a pinch for extra warmth.
Is There a Vegan Alternative to Honey?
Yes, you can substitute out the honey in this recipe for agave nectar or maple syrup. I prefer agave nectar, it’s my go-to kitchen sweetener because it’s absolutely delicious, and buying organic agave is inexpensive (compared to other organic sweeteners). It also bakes well, so I like to add it to my baked goods.
How Do You Make Ricotta Dip with Honey?
- Toast the bread under the broiler for 3 minutes preside, or in a toaster.
- In a small bowl, add the ricotta, honey, and cinnamon. Stir well to combine
- Spread each toast piece with ricotta mixture in a thick layer.
- Add an extra drizzle of honey or cinnamon on top for garnish.
- Top with a sprinkle of sea salt and enjoy!
