• Fruit variation - Instead of using pears, you can use berries, bananas, mango, or any of your favorite fruits!
• Yogurt - Don't like ricotta? Feel free to substitute for creamy Greek yogurt.
• Kid friendly - to make this recipe more kid-friendly, instead of a sliced pear, substitute with jam or jelly! Swirl the jam over top of the ricotta cheese for a fun spin on toast!

Equipment

All you need to make this recipe is a toaster, a bowl, and a whisk! SUPER easy and you don't need barely any equipment to make!

You can also use a fork, instead of a whisk, to quickly fluff up your ricotta for your toast.

Ricotta Toast Storage

I recommend storing the ingredients separately in an air tight container in the fridge until you are ready to assemble. This prevents the bread from getting soggy from the ricotta cheese, and ensures that your ingredients stay fresh!

You can store the ingredients in the fridge, sealed in an air tight container, for up to 5 days! You can also freeze your bread in the freezer for up to 3 months!
