Ricotta strawberry French toast

 

Make your French toast summer-ready with fresh berries, ricotta, honey, and mint.

 

 

Ingredients

1 large egg, beaten

one cup milk

1 tsp vanilla extract

4 slices thick-cut white bread

2 tbsp butter

1/2 cup of ricotta

2 tbsp honey

10 strawberries some sliced, some halved

2 mint sprigs, leaves picked

 

Whisk together the egg, milk, and vanilla in a large mixing bowl. Soak one side of the bread slices in the liquid, then turn them over and soak for 1-2 minutes. In a large nonstick skillet over medium heat, melt 1 tablespoon of the butter and add two pieces of bread. Saute for 5 minutes, or until golden, then flip and cook for another 5 minutes. Transfer to a platter and fry the remaining two slices in the remaining butter.

 

Cut the bread in half diagonally and distribute the ricotta on each piece. Pour with honey and a sprinkling of flaky sea salt, then fan some sliced strawberries on the bread. Arrange the halved strawberries and mint on the platter.
