Some breakfasts are purely functional — fuel, nothing fancy. This is not one of those breakfasts. This is your “I’m romanticising my life” breakfast. The kind you make when you want to feel like you’re in an airy Parisian apartment, sipping coffee while wearing a silk robe. Ricotta toast with honey, pistachios, and raspberries is creamy, crunchy, sweet, tangy, and ready in under 10 minutes.

Why this recipe is great
Fast & fancy – Looks like a café brunch plate, but comes together faster than your coffee machine warms up.
Balanced macros – Protein from ricotta, healthy fats from pistachios, and carbs from toast and fruit mean you’re getting a well-rounded meal that won’t spike and crash your blood sugar.
Mood-boosting foods – Raspberries and honey are rich in antioxidants, and pistachios contain vitamin B6, which can help keep your hormones (and mood) happy.
Star ingredients and why they shine
Ricotta cheese – Light, fluffy, and protein-rich. It’s also a good source of calcium for bone health and muscle function.
Raspberries – Packed with vitamin C, fibre, and antioxidants, they help fight inflammation and support skin health.
Pistachios – Contain healthy fats, protein, and key nutrients for hormone balance like vitamin B6 and magnesium.
Honey – A natural sweetener with antimicrobial properties and minerals; plus, it adds that perfect drizzle for Instagram-worthy toast.

Instructions:
Toast your bread to your preferred level of crunch.
Spread ricotta evenly over each slice.

3 Pro Tips
Make it seasonal – Swap raspberries for figs, blueberries, or sliced peaches depending on what’s fresh.
Go savoury – Ditch the honey and berries, add sliced tomato, basil, and a drizzle of olive oil for a Mediterranean twist.
Protein boost – Mix a scoop of vanilla protein powder into your ricotta for an extra hit of morning gains.
