Caprese Avocado Ricotta Toast
We all know avocado toast, some know ricotta toast, but why not combine both? And let's add tomatoes and sweet sticky balsamic reduction to it while we are at it!
Ingredients
- 2 slices sourdough bread or any crusty loaf bread
- ¼ cup whole milk ricotta cheese
- 1 medium avocado sliced and pitted
- salt and pepper to taste
- 6-8 cherry or grape tomatoes
- 1-2 tbsp balsamic reduction/glaze
- 2 tbsp shaved parmesan or mini mozzarella balls
- 1 tbsp sliced fresh basil or 1 tsp dried basil
- drizzle of olive oil
Instructions
- Toast your bread slices to desired crispness
- Once toasted, spread an even layer of ricotta onto each slice, topped with thin slices of avocado.
- Sprinkle with a generous amount of salt and pepper to taste
- Slice your tomatoes in half and place them on top of the avocado.
- Drizzle both slices with balsamic reduction. I used pre-packaged Balsamic Fig Glaze, but if you cannot find glaze in stores, gently simmer ⅓ cup of balsamic vinegar over medium heat until it reduces to about 2 tbsp, when it is thick and syrupy.
- Sprinkle with grated parmesan, or place on mini mozzarella balls, and basil. Finish with a drizzle of olive oil and a sprinkle more of salt and enjoy.
