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.
