Whipped ricotta toast with caviar, lemon zest and chives

The Ingredients

Serves 2

  • 2 thick slices sourdough
  • 200g full-fat ricotta, drained 15 minutes
  • 1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
  • Zest of 1 lemon, plus 1 tsp juice
  • 25g Royal Oscietra
  • 1 tsp finely sliced chives
  • A few flakes of Maldon sea salt
  • Cracked black pepper

The Method

1. Drain ricotta in a sieve over a bowl for 15 minutes.

2. Whip drained ricotta with olive oil, lemon zest, lemon juice, salt, and pepper until light and fluffy. Use electric whisk for 2 minutes.

3. Toast sourdough deep golden.

4. Spread whipped ricotta generously on each slice.

5. Top with 12g of caviar per slice. Scatter chives and Maldon flakes. Serve immediately.

Tips

Drain ricotta. Wet ricotta makes wet topping.

Whip thoroughly. Two minutes with electric whisk gives fluffy texture.

Lemon brightens. Don't skip the zest.

Build to order. Ricotta absorbs into toast over time.

Variations and Pairings

With Beluga: 20g of Beluga XXL per slice.

With herbs: Add 1 tbsp of finely chopped fresh basil or thyme.

Wine pairing: A chilled Albariño or Vermentino.
