Ingredients

• 4 piece Country bread ( in thick slices )
• 250 g Fresh cheese ( room temperature )
• 4 tbsp Honey ( liquid )
• 1 tbsp Extra virgin olive oil ( for texture )
• 1 pinch Fleur de sel
• 1 pinch Black pepper ground
• 250 g Ricotta Cheese ( well drained )

Instructions

1. Toast the bread

   Slice the country bread. Toast the slices in a toaster or under the oven grill until they are golden brown and firm.

2. Prepare the base

   In a bowl, lightly whisk the ricotta and cream cheese with a drizzle of olive oil to soften. The mixture should be smooth and coat the back of a spoon.

3. Assemble

   Generously spread the ricotta mixture over the warm bread. Drizzle the honey in irregular patterns. Finish with a pinch of fleur de sel and a turn of the pepper mill.

Chef's tips

• Rub a clove of garlic on the toast before adding the cheese for extra character.
• The hot-cold contrast between the bread and the cheese is the key to success.

Storage

Consume immediately to keep the bread crispy. Does not store well.
