# What You'll Need:

→ For the Toast

# Additional Tips::

01 -
  • Your kitchen will smell like someone whispered summertime into the air.
  • This toast somehow strikes the perfect balance between indulgent and nourishing, making it a weekday treat you’ll crave.
02 -
  • Spreading ricotta on steaming hot bread will cause it to melt and run off—let the toast cool for a minute or two first.
  • Chopping the pistachios too finely turns them dusty instead of crunchy, so keep them in chunky pieces.
03 -
  • Always drain your ricotta in advance; excess moisture will quickly turn the toast soft.
  • A playful hit of flaky sea salt is the secret weapon that brings the whole thing to life—that pinch at the end really matters.
