Ingredient substitutions
Sourdough
- Sourdough baguette: Use the same weight and slice it thick enough to hold the ricotta.
Ricotta
- Smooth ricotta: Choose a smooth whole milk style for the creamiest texture.
Honey
- Wildflower honey: A mild honey keeps the toast sweet without overpowering the ricotta.
Lemon zest
- Extra lemon zest: Use less if the zest is very fragrant or the lemon has thick peel.
Pistachio
- Roasted pistachio: Use unsalted pistachios if possible so the toast stays balanced.
Salt
- Fine sea salt: Use a small pinch to sharpen the ricotta and honey.
