This is the toast you make when you want breakfast to feel intentional without actually committing to a full morning project. Whipped ricotta stirred with Brown Butter Cookie blend gets pillowy and lightly spiced in under two minutes — pile it on golden griddled brioche, layer on fresh fruit, and finish with a drizzle and a pinch of flaky salt. It reads brunch.

Brown Butter Cookie Ricotta Toast

Ingredients

  • 2 thick slices brioche

  • 1 Tbsp unsalted butter

  • ¾ cup whole-milk ricotta

  • 2 tsp pure maple syrup or honey, plus more to drizzle

  • 1 tsp Spiceology Brown Butter Cookie Spice Blend, plus more to finish

  • ½ tsp vanilla extract (optional)

  • 1 cup fresh fruit — strawberries, figs, peaches, or pear

  • flaky sea salt, to finish

Directions

  1. Spread the butter on the brioche and griddle over medium heat until deeply golden and crisp on both sides, about 2 minutes per side.

  2. Stir together the ricotta, maple syrup or honey, 1 tsp Brown Butter Cookie, and vanilla until smooth. Whisk briskly for 15–20 seconds for a lighter, fluffier texture.

  3. Spread the ricotta thickly over the warm toast and arrange the fresh fruit on top.

  4. Drizzle with a little more maple syrup or honey, dust with extra Brown Butter Cookie, and add a pinch of flaky sea salt. Serve immediately.
