Hello There!
Welcome back (or simple welcome, if you’re new here) to Laviebami 😀
Today’s recipe is one of the easiest (…laziest…) I’ve posted here so far: Mango, Persimmon and Ricotta Toast.
Let me draw the background on this one.
A few weeks ago I went “home” to Paris to get some stuff I didn’t get to bring when I moved to Belgium (I’ll write about all that in a separate post).
While strolling through the Marais neighborhood I stumbled upon “Miel Factory” (Honey Factory) a store specialized in all things honey… long story short, I ended up buying 5 jars of honey, one jar of honey-mustard and one jar of hazelnut-honey spread.
I often use honey in the kitchen: meat marinades, on toasted bread, in my tea and much more, and that’s where my inspo came from.
I was trying to think about simple recipes for each use: for today’s recipe, I decided to go for toasted bread and seasonal fruits… and mango, because… I liked the colors xD
The fruit as well as the honey were sweet enough so I didn’t add any sugar to the ricotta cream. I added the lemon zest to offset the sweetness of the toppings.
Feel free to use any type of bread you may like, I personally do not eat a lot of bread but when I do I usually go for wholegrain or whole-wheat bread.
These toasts are perfect for a Sunday brunch or a quick dessert.
