Kale for Breakfast Recipe Ideas
This kale ricotta toast is what I call an Easy Weekday Meal – which is on your table in under 30 minutes – in this case, just 5! These quick and simple recipes are perfect for those mornings when you want a healthy homecooked meal but don’t want to spend a ton of time in the kitchen.
I have a whole section of The Herbeevore dedicated to Easy Weeknight Meals, that are great for the whole family. From soups and stews, to pastas and proteins – a healthy meal can be on your table in no time. Even faster than ordering takeout!
What’s In This Ricotta and Kale Toast Recipe?
I love shopping for fresh produce through Misfits Market – they sell groceries, healthy pantry staples, and fantastic food finds (even wine!) at a discounted price. Choose your favorite seasonal produce, save up to 40% off grocery store prices & get it delivered to your door.
- 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!
- Olive Oil: I like to use this fruity Zoe olive oil which has a fantastic flavor and deep color- it’s really inexpensive online here, so I keep a few liters stocked up in my pantry. For the quality of oil you get, it’s an excellent value, I would highly recommend!
- 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.
- Kale and Garlic
- Red Chili Pepper Flakes: for a little heat! I like to add a few shakes to this recipe to give this dish a nice complex depth of flavor.
- Pink Himalayan Sea Salt: I like to use a pink Himalayan Sea Salt in my kitchen, which has more natural minerals than plain processed table salt. It’s fairly inexpensive, so I’d recommend this salt if you’re looking for an easy way to level up your spice pantry.
Make Savory Ricotta Toast Gluten Free for a Healthy Version
This gluten free kale and ricotta toast recipe is a simple meal to make without the wheat. I’m all about making recipes gluten free when I can. Gluten free cooking does NOT have to be bland, boring, or flavorless… It’s quite the opposite when done right. By building meals around gluten free pantry staples and swapping in a few wheat-less ingredients you can make healthier meals for you and your family.
I made a list of my 125 favorite gluten free pantry ingredients that we use on a weekly basis, and check out all my gluten free recipes here that are on The Herbeevore. These easy and healthy recipes are fantastic meals for everyone at your table.
How Do I Make Kale Ricotta Cheese Toast with Garlic?
- Sauté the kale: in a small pan, add the olive oil and chopped garlic, sauté over low heat for 4 to 5 minutes. Add kale, and cook for an additional 2 minutes until kale has wilted and is a deep green color.
- Toast the bread under the broiler for 3 minutes per side, or in a toaster. Spread each toast piece with ricotta in a thick layer.
- Add the sautéed kale and crushed chili flakes.
- Add an optional sprinkle of sea salt, and enjoy!
