Ingredients

  • 2 slices rustic bread

  • 1/2 cup ricotta cheese

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil

  • 1 small cucumber

  • 1 tablespoon fresh dill, chopped

  • 1 teaspoon lemon zest

  • Salt and black pepper, to taste

  • Red pepper flakes, for garnish (optional)


Instructions

  • Toast the rustic bread slices until golden and crisp.

  • In a small bowl, whip the ricotta with olive oil until smooth and creamy.

  • Using a vegetable peeler, slice the cucumber into thin ribbons.

  • Spread the whipped ricotta generously over each toast slice.

  • Layer the cucumber ribbons artistically on top of the ricotta.

  • Sprinkle with fresh dill and lemon zest.

  • Season with salt, black pepper, and a pinch of red pepper flakes if desired.

  • Serve immediately for the freshest taste and texture.


Notes

  • Make sure the ricotta is cold for easier whipping and a fluffier texture.

  • Add a drizzle of honey for a sweet-savory twist.

  • Best served fresh; cucumber ribbons can release water if stored too long.
