Ingredients

  • ½ cup ricotta
  • ½ lemon zest ie from ½ lemon
  • ¼ teaspoon lemon juice or a little more to taste
  • fresh basil finely chopped
  • 4 slices bread I used sourdough, which worked well, or a wholegrain would also be good
  • a little olive oil to top
  • a few slow roasted tomatoes optional

Instructions

  • Whip together the ricotta, lemon zest, lemon juice and finely chopped basil until well mixed.
  • Toast the bread until it's lightly toasted then top with the ricotta mixture. Drizzle on a little olive oil and top with some slow roasted tomatoes (optional but highly recommended!)
