A fresh, no-fuss Italian toast that’s rich, creamy, and full of flavour.
When the ingredients speak for themselves, you don’t need much else. This Ricotta Caprese Toast brings together everything we love about Italian simplicity: creamy Grande Cheese Ricotta, crusty sourdough, and a bright, herby tomato topping that tastes like summer in every bite.
Perfect for a light lunch, a weekend snack, or an appetizer that’ll win over any crowd—this is one of those recipes that feels as good to make as it does to eat.
