Simplest Whipped Ricotta Toast with Lemon Thyme Honey

 

olive oil for brushing

2 oranges, sliced

1/4 C. + 1 T. honey

1-2 tsp. Meyer or regular lemon zest + 2 T. juice to your taste

1 T. fresh thyme leaves

6 slices thicker cut sourdough bread, toasted

1 C. whole milk ricotta cheese (whipped in the food processor if you like it lighter)

2 oz. prosciutto, torn

flaky sea salt and black pepper

 

Preheat the broiler to high. Rub a baking sheet with oil. Arrange the orange slices in a single layer, drizzle with 1 T. honey. Place under the broiler for 5-8 minutes, watching closely, until the oranges are beginning to char. Meanwhile, heat together the 1/4 honey, lemon zest + juice, and thyme in a small saucepan over low heat. Rub the warm toasted bread with olive oil. Spread with ricotta, top with roasted oranges, prosciutto, and drizzle with the honey mixture. Season with salt and pepper.
