Equipment
- 1 blender or food processor
- 1 skillet or toaster oven
Ingredients
For the Pink Whipped Ricotta:
- 10 oz fresh ricotta cheese
- 2 small roasted beets peeled and chopped
- 6 cloves of roasted garlic
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- zest of 1 lemon
- juice of 1/2 of a lemon
- 1 teaspoon salt
For the Toast:
- 4 slices of your favorite bread sourdough or french loaf work great
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter or olive oil
- crumbled feta and chopped basil optional, for garnish
Instructions
Step 1: Roast the Beets
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Wash the beets thoroughly, then wrap them in aluminum foil and place them on a baking sheet. Roast for about 45 minutes to an hour, or until the beets are fork-tender. Once done, let them cool before peeling and chopping them into small pieces.
- Or make it easier by buying already cooked beets!
Step 2: Whipping the Ricotta
- In a food processor or blender, combine beets, ricotta, garlic, olive oil, lemon zest, lemon juice, & salt. Blend the mixture until smooth and creamy, ensuring the pink color is evenly distributed throughout the ricotta.
Step 3: Prepare the Toast
- Over medium heat, add olive oil or butter to a skillet and toast your bread. (Or in toaster oven)
Step 4: Assemble the Pink Whipped Ricotta Toast
- Place the pink whipped ricotta mixture inside a piping bag or ziploc bag with one corner cut off. Using a snake like pattern, pipe the mixture over each piece of toast, covering the top completely.
- Step 5: Garnish with Crumbled Feta and Chopped Basil. (Optional)
