This delicious yet nutritious strawberry ricotta toast is a healthier alternative to the usual French toast. This simple recipe offers fibre for digestion, protein and calcium for muscle and bone health, and antioxidants from strawberries to support immune health.
Serving Suggestion: Ricotta cheese can be swapped for cottage cheese as an alternate option. Add extra nuts and seeds such as slivered almonds or chia seeds for extra fibre, or frozen blueberries or pear for extra fruit!
For a savoury alternative, try swapping strawberries and honey for cherry or grape tomatoes and fresh basil.
Storage: This toast is best enjoyed immediately after preparation to keep it from becoming soggy. For optimal freshness, store the ingredients separately and assemble just before eating.
Kids in the kitchen tips: Depending on your child’s age and skill, they can help wash the strawberries, add the strawberries and other toppings to the toast.
