Ingredients

Scale

Toast

  • 2 slices of whole-grain bread

Pumpkin Ricotta Spread

  • 1/2 cup ricotta cheese
  • 1/2 cup pumpkin puree
  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • 1/2 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice

Toppings

  • 1/4 cup toasted pecans
  • A pinch of sea salt

Instructions

  1. Toast the Bread: Start by toasting 2 slices of whole-grain bread until they are golden brown and crispy. This can be done using a toaster or a stovetop grill pan.
  2. Prepare the Pumpkin Ricotta Mixture: In a small bowl, combine 1/2 cup ricotta cheese, 1/2 cup pumpkin puree, 1 tablespoon honey, and 1/2 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice. Stir well until the mixture is smooth and all ingredients are thoroughly blended.
  3. Assemble the Toast: Evenly spread the pumpkin ricotta mixture over the toasted bread slices, ensuring a good coverage for every bite.
  4. Add Toppings: Sprinkle 1/4 cup toasted pecans over the spread, then finish with a pinch of sea salt to enhance the flavors.
  5. Serve Immediately: Enjoy the toast right away to savor the contrast between the crunchy bread, creamy spread, and nutty topping.

Notes

  • For an extra crunchy texture, toast the pecans lightly in a dry skillet over medium heat for 3-5 minutes before using.
  • This recipe is best enjoyed fresh to maintain the toast’s crispness.
  • Substitute honey with maple syrup for a vegan-friendly version and use vegan ricotta if desired.
  • Pumpkin pie spice typically includes cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and cloves; adjust to taste.
  • Try adding a drizzle of balsamic glaze for a tangy sweetness contrast.
