    I love this ricotta toast so much. It has just the right combo of bright, happy spring flavors, comfort food ingredients, and a touch of sweetness with the addition of honey.

    I also love honey! I take it in my tea, I swallow spoonfuls of my Honey Ginger Lemon Marmalade, and cook with honey whenever I can. It plays a delightful role in this particular toast recipe, too.

    I use a citrusy Orange Blossom Honey made by Oregon-based GloryBee Honey. This gives the toast an extra bright citrus boost in each bite. If you can't find an orange honey, you can also use any honey you happen to have on hand in your house.

    Now, blackberries aren't quite in season in Oregon yet, but I always have a stash of frozen blackberries that were frozen just after being picked in our freezer to use for smoothies, sauces, and for toast like this. I just make sure to thaw the frozen blackberries for about half an hour at room temperature before making the toast.

    If you want to make this ricotta toast dairy-free, you could use a non-dairy cream cheese from your local grocery store, or you could make your own dairy-free ricotta cheese.

    Personally, I have yet to make my own dairy-free ricotta cheese, but I know it involves combining almonds and dairy-free yogurt. Once I try it, I'll be sure to share how it goes!

    Finally, I add some orange zest and fresh mint to add some spring citrus and herbs to the toast.

    This blackberry citrus ricotta toast is so yummy and comforting. It's super fast and easy to whip together for a fast lunch, snack, or breakfast. If you want to get all fancy, you could even cut it up into little squares and serve these as adorable appetizers for bridal or baby showers, or next girls' night gathering or moms' brunch!

        Ugh, I'm sorry you've been sick! This has been a wicked cold/flu season. This recipe reminded me of topping PBJs with berries, like blackberries or strawberries, instead of jam—love it! But the idea of putting on a base of ricotta sounds incredible. Yum!!!
