Ingredients
  

2 ripe pears, sliced thinly

1 cup ricotta cheese

2 tablespoons honey (plus extra for drizzling)

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice

4 slices of thick, crusty bread (such as sourdough or ciabatta)

2 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened

A pinch of salt

Fresh mint leaves for garnish (optional)

Crushed walnuts or pistachios for topping (optional)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Ricotta Mixture: In a medium mixing bowl, combine the ricotta cheese, honey, vanilla extract, lemon juice, and a pinch of salt. Mix until creamy and smooth. Set aside.

    Toast the Bread: Heat a skillet over medium heat. Spread a thin layer of softened butter on one side of each slice of bread. Place the slices butter side down in the skillet and toast until golden brown, about 3-4 minutes. Flip and toast the other side for an additional 2 minutes. Alternatively, you can toast the bread in a toaster or under a broiler.

      Assemble the Toast: Once the bread is toasted, spread a generous layer of the honey ricotta mixture on each slice.

        Add Pears: Lay the thin slices of pear on top of the ricotta spread, arranging them artfully for a beautiful presentation.

          Finish & Serve: Drizzle some extra honey over the pears, and if desired, sprinkle with crushed walnuts or pistachios for some added crunch. Garnish with fresh mint leaves for a pop of color and freshness.

            Enjoy!: Serve immediately while the toast is warm and the ingredients are fresh.
