Time 10m

Yield Serves 2 for breakfast or brunch

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 slices good-quality fruit & nut bread
50g unsalted butter
200g ripe strawberry , halved
4 tbsp clear honey
ΒΌ tsp vanilla bean paste (or use extract)
3 tbsp toasted flaked almond
pinch of sea salt flakes
4 tbsp ricotta (or more, if you like)

Steps:

  • Toast the bread in the toaster or on a griddle pan for a stripy effect. Melt one-quarter of the butter in a frying pan. When it foams, add the strawberries, cut-side down, and fry over a high heat for 2 mins or until starting to caramelise. Add the remaining butter, the honey and vanilla, and swirl to make a sticky sauce. Stir in the almonds and salt.
  • Dollop or spread the ricotta onto the hot toast, then spoon over the hot berries and honey-nut butter. Serve straight away.
