This recipe was born from one of those sweet, unexpected moments while traveling. We were in a cozy little café tucked away in uptown New York State—small space, warm smiles, and a menu full of surprises. The café owner herself recommended we try this toast, and honestly… we weren’t sure what to expect.
But one bite—and we were sold.
Creamy ricotta, the subtle sweetness, a burst of citrusy zing, and that perfect contrast of textures. It was like cheesecake met sunshine—refreshing, comforting, and a little indulgent too.
As soon as we got back, I knew I had to recreate it. And guess what? It turned out just as magical at home.
This toast is a show-stealer for brunch, a standout appetizer, or even just a fun twist to serve to guests. It’s one of those fusion bites that feels elegant and playful all at once. You take a bite—and everyone’s asking, “What is this?!”
Unexpected. Beautiful. Flavorful. Just like a sunrise that leaves you smiling 🌞🧡

👩🍳 Method:
- Glaze the Oranges:
In a non-stick pan, add a touch of olive oil and sugar. Once it starts to melt and bubble, place orange slices flat on the pan and toast each side for 1–2 minutes until lightly caramelized. Set aside. - Prepare the Whipped Ricotta:
In a bowl, whip ricotta cheese using a spoon or whisk until smooth. Fold in grated spinach, herbs, and a pinch of salt. Mix well until evenly combined. - Toast the Bread:
Toast bread slices until golden and crisp. - Assemble the Toast:
Spread a generous layer of the ricotta mixture over each slice of toast. Top with 3–4 glazed orange rounds. - Final Touch:
Optionally drizzle with a bit of olive oil or a light honey glaze if you like a touch of sweetness. - Serve & Enjoy:
Serve immediately for the best texture—creamy, citrusy, and full of flavor!
