Why You'll Love Avocado Toast with Ricotta & Hot Honey

It's just five ingredients: avocado, sourdough, whipped ricotta, honey, and garlic chili crisp mixed together for the drizzle.

Tips and Tricks

• Use whipped ricotta for extra lightness or whip your own by stirring ricotta vigorously before assembling.
• Adjust chili crisp quantity to your preferred spice level.

Variations

• Swap sourdough for multigrain or gluten-free bread.
• Add toasted pine nuts or fresh basil for extra texture and aroma.

Substitutions

• Honey can be replaced with maple syrup for a different sweetness profile.
• Use regular chili flakes if garlic chili crisp is unavailable, but expect less texture.

Best served with

• A fresh citrus salad or iced herbal tea.

How to Store Leftovers

• Best eaten fresh. Store ricotta and avocado separately in airtight containers for up to 1 day; toast just before serving.

Notes

Storage: eat this one fresh, the toast softens and the avocado browns within an hour or so. The garlic chili honey keeps in a jar at room temperature or the fridge for weeks, so mix up extra if you want it on hand.
