<\/a><\/p>\nMany ideas I came across for ricotta toasts were sweet with ingredients like honey, figs, strawberries and grapes. \u00a0I wanted something that would qualify as dinner, so I decided on roasted asparagus with lemon and thyme and tomato and basil. \u00a0This will definitely be something I’ll make again this summer, it’s light but still satisfying. \u00a0I can also see adapting this to serve as an appetizer or as part of a brunch. \u00a0I’m helping host a baby shower in a couple months, and I think these would be perfect.<\/p>\n
To make the toasts I took slices of hearty bread<\/p>\n
Brushed them with olive oil (butter is also great)<\/p>\n And grilled them (a panini press or grill with do, as will broiling them in the oven.)<\/p>\n Top with a tablespoon or 2 of the ricotta.<\/p>\n Layer on some roasted asparagus.<\/p>\n Sprinkle with fresh thyme and lemon zest, and maybe a bit of salt.<\/p>\n Slice and serve.<\/p>\n I also made some with slices of fresh tomato, chopped fresh basil and some sea salt. \u00a0I will never tire of that combination. \u00a0And it’s perfect for summer when fresh basil and ripe tomatoes are in abundance.<\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n
