What bread is used for ricotta blueberry toast?
I used a sourdough loaf for this ricotta and blueberries toast, which I cut into thick slices and toasted in a skillet. You can use any bread you like, but I recommend a sturdy type like sourdough or seeded whole grain so that it can stand up to the weight of the toppings. You can also use a baguette to make smaller portions and turn this into a blueberry bruschetta appetizer!
What to put on toast with blueberries?
The whipped ricotta recipe that we're adding to this blueberry toast is the perfect complement to the sweetness of the blueberries! And don't worry, you won't need any special techniques to whip the ricotta -- just a hand mixer or stand mixer, or you can even use a whisk!
How to make berry toast?
Here are the ingredients you'll need for this blueberry ricotta toast:
- blueberries - you can use either frozen or fresh blueberries for this toast (no need to thaw). If you have fresh berries, check out these tips on how to keep summer berries fresh for longer! And for more blueberry goodness, try my Strawberry Blueberry Pie!
- honey - we'll add a little sweetness to our blueberry compote with some honey. I also like to drizzle a little more honey on top of the finished toasts!
- lemon - adds a bright flavor to the blueberry compote, and the zest is a perfect topping on the toasts! For more lemony goodness, check out my full collection of recipes with lemon curd!
- salt - just a pinch to bring out the flavor in our blueberry compote.
- ricotta - I prefer whole milk ricotta cheese in this whipped ricotta recipe. The extra fat in the cheese helps create a creamier consistency. You can use part-skim ricotta as well, if you prefer.
- sourdough loaf - Any unsliced sourdough or "rustic" loaf you find will work. You can then cut it into thick slices for this blueberries toast! You can also use a baguette for smaller portions!
- extra-virgin olive oil - We'll toast our bread in a skillet with some olive oil. I love the flavor of olive oil with the lemon and berries. You can use any other oil you like, or even butter would be delicious!
- basil - as a finishing touch, we'll add some chopped fresh basil onto our blueberry toast. I find the flavor of blueberry and basil are so perfect together!
Equipment
You'll need a small saucepan to make your blueberry compote, and then a skillet to toast your bread. You can use a hand mixer, stand mixer, or just a whisk to whip up your ricotta. I also used a microplane grater to zest my lemon and a super cute honey dipper to drizzle honey on top!
Can you toast in an air fryer?
Absolutely! While I prefer the flavor of toasting the bread in a pan with olive oil, your air fryer can make it so easy! Just place the toast in a single layer in the air fryer and cook for 3-4 minutes, flipping halfway through. Keep in mind that air fryer times can vary, so begin checking the toast after 2 minutes.
What to put on toast to make it taste better?
The best part about this whipped ricotta and blueberries toast is the toppings! Once you've layered on your whipped ricotta and blueberry compote, adding some lemon zest, chopped basil, and a drizzle of honey adds the perfect finishing touch! You can even add some crunch with chopped roasted almonds, or swap out the honey for some hot honey for a bit of spice!
Blueberry Toast Tips and F.A.Q.
I wouldn't suggest toasting your bread in advance, but you can definitely make the blueberry compote and whipped ricotta up to a day in advance, then toast the bread and assemble your blueberry toast just before serving!
If you don't have ricotta, you can make this recipe with cream cheese, mascarpone, or even almond butter layered under the blueberry compote! You can also substitute blackberries, raspberries, or strawberries or a berry mixture that you prefer.

Loved it! I didn't have lemons on hand, so I squeezed in some lime juice instead (about half the amount). It worked fine. I also used pumpernickel instead of sourdough, which added a different dimension to the dish.
