Ingredients

Cinnamon Toast & Toppings

4 large slices crusty rustic bread
4 teaspoons salted butter (20 g)
3 tablespoons cinnamon sugar made from ¼ cup sugar + 1 teaspoon cinnamon
½ cup ricotta cheese (75 g)
1 tablespoon honey (15 ml/21 g)
½ cup fresh strawberries sliced (about 8 large)

Chamomile Syrup

1 cup granulated sugar (200 g)
½ cup water (120 ml)
1 cup dried chamomile flowers (20 g) loosely measured

Instructions

Make the Chamomile Syrup:

Dissolve the Sugar: Combine sugar and water in a small saucepan over medium-high heat. Stir until the sugar fully dissolves and the mixture begins to bubble.
1 cup granulated sugar, ½ cup water
Infuse the Chamomile: Add the dried chamomile flowers, pressing them gently into the syrup so they are fully submerged. Let the mixture bubble for 1 minute.
1 cup dried chamomile flowers
Steep and Rest: Turn off the heat and allow the chamomile to steep for 10 minutes. This is where the floral flavor develops.
Strain and Cool: Strain through a fine mesh sieve and let the syrup cool completely before using. (refrigerate 2-3 weeks, best within 14 days)

Prepare the Cinnamon Toast:

Broil the Bread: Preheat the oven to broil. Place bread on a baking sheet and toast for about 90 seconds per side, or until golden brown. Watch closely.
4 large slices crusty rustic bread
Butter and Caramelize: Spread 1 teaspoon butter on each slice. Sprinkle generously with cinnamon sugar, about 2 teaspoons per slice, and return to the broiler for 1 minute until lightly caramelized. Let cool slightly.
4 teaspoons salted butter, 3 tablespoons cinnamon sugar
Build the Ricotta Layer: Sweeten the Ricotta, by gently stirring in 1 tablespoon of honey into the ricotta until smooth and lightly sweetened.
½ cup ricotta cheese, 1 tablespoon honey
Assemble the Toast: Divide and spread the ricotta evenly over the warm toast and spread to the edges. Arrange sliced strawberries over the top. Finish with Syrup, drizzle chamomile syrup over each toast just before serving.
½ cup fresh strawberries
