Sometimes there is nothing better than fresh fruit for breakfast, and what better way to enjoy it than on this beautiful ricotta toast! We love this toast because it uses buttery thick-sliced brioche bread that pairs so well with the fresh fruit. Plus it is sprinkled with granola for texture and drizzled with honey for sweetness.
Breakfast toasts are a quick and easy way to make a satisfying breakfast when you’re short on time. Some of our favorites include smoked salmon toast, avocado tomato toast, and peanut butter toast.

Variations

- Apple ricotta toast – Substitute the fruit with thinly sliced apple (use gala or Fuji apples if your taste leans toward the sweet. If you prefer tart, use Granny Smith). Drizzle with caramel sauce (visit our post for caramel apple French toast to learn how to make your own easy caramel sauce).

Storage
- Best Fresh. For the best flavor and texture, enjoy the toast immediately after preparing it. The toast is most enjoyable when the bread is still crisp and the fruit is fresh.
Storing Leftovers
If you have leftovers or need to prepare in advance:
- Separate Components
- Ricotta. Store any leftover whipped ricotta in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
- Fruit. Store any leftover fruit in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
- Granola. Keep granola in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 weeks. If it’s mixed with the toast, it may lose its crunch.
- Toast
- If you have leftover toast, store it in an airtight container or wrap it tightly in plastic wrap. It can be kept at room temperature for up to 1 day. The toast will lose its crispiness over time.
Reassembly
- Reheat Toast. If you need to reheat the toast, you can do so in a toaster or toaster oven to restore some of its crispiness. Avoid using a microwave as it can make the bread soggy.
- Add Toppings Fresh. Add the ricotta, fruit, granola, and honey just before serving to maintain the best texture and flavor.
