1 ripe pear, thinly sliced

2 tablespoons honey, plus extra for drizzling

1 tablespoon lemon juice

1/2 teaspoon cinnamon

Fresh mint leaves for garnish

A pinch of salt

Instructions
 

Prepare the Bread: Begin by toasting the slices of whole grain or sourdough bread until golden brown and crispy.

    Mix the Ricotta: In a bowl, combine the ricotta cheese, 2 tablespoons of honey, lemon juice, cinnamon, and a pinch of salt. Mix until smooth and creamy.

      Assemble the Toast: Once the bread is toasted, spread a generous layer of the honey-lemon ricotta mixture on each slice.

        Top with Pears: Arrange the thin slices of pear over the ricotta on each toast.

          Add Crunch: If desired, sprinkle crushed nuts on top for an added texture and flavor.

            Final Touches: Drizzle a little extra honey over the assembled toast for sweetness, and garnish with fresh mint leaves for a pop of color and freshness.

              Serve: Cut the toast in half if preferred and serve immediately to enjoy the delightful combination of flavors.
