# Additional Tips::

01 -
  • It tastes like a fancy café breakfast but comes together in the time it takes coffee to brew.
  • The sweet-salty-creamy combination is genuinely addictive in a way that surprises people every single time.
02 -
  • Never whip ricotta until it separates—it takes only a minute or two more of whisking to turn it grainy, so stop when it's fluffy and holds soft peaks.
  • Temperature contrast is essential: warm toast against cold, creamy ricotta is what makes this sing, so don't let your ricotta sit out while the bread toasts.
03 -
  • If you can't find good fresh ricotta, you can substitute with whipped cream cheese or even Greek yogurt—the vibe stays mostly the same.
  • Make the whipped ricotta ahead of time and refrigerate it; the honey-salt mixture can be prepared hours before, giving you almost no morning work.
