Whipped ricotta had a real moment, and honestly, I completely understand why. It is creamy, light, rich and ridiculously easy to love. Some food trends come and go, but this is one I still genuinely enjoy.
This is my go-to whipped ricotta toast: simple, fresh and full of texture. Topped with crushed peas and finished with crunchy granola, it is the kind of recipe that feels a little unexpected in the best way.
The peas bring freshness and sweetness, the ricotta is smooth and airy, and the granola adds that final crunchy layer that makes the whole thing come alive. If you have never added granola to a savoury toast before, this is your sign.
And yes, if you ask me, our Floral Fig Granola is especially good here.
