Recipe for my Sourdough Breakfast

Ingredients

• 1–2 slices sourdough bread
• 2–3 tbsp ricotta
• 1 tsp olive oil (for toasting)
• Handful of cherry tomatoes, chopped
• Fresh basil leaves, chopped
• Salt and pepper, to taste
• 1–2 tsp chilli oil
• Extra virgin olive oil, for drizzling
• ½ avocado, sliced
• ½ pear, thinly sliced
• Handful of blackberries
• 1 tsp sesame seeds (black and white)

Method

1. Prepare the bruschetta topping
   • Combine cherry tomatoes, basil, salt, pepper, chilli oil, and a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil.
   • Mix gently and set aside.
2. Toast the sourdough
   • Heat olive oil in a pan over medium heat.
   • Toast the sourdough until golden and crisp on both sides.
3. Assemble the toast
   • Spread ricotta over the warm sourdough.
   • Spoon over the bruschetta mixture.
4. Add toppings
   • Layer sliced avocado on top.
   • Add thin slices of pear.
   • Scatter over blackberries.
5. Finish
   • Sprinkle with black and white sesame seeds.
   • Drizzle lightly with extra virgin olive oil.

Top Tips

• Use ripe ingredients: A ripe avocado and sweet pear make a big difference to flavour.
• Don’t skip the oil toast: Pan-toasting sourdough in olive oil adds extra depth and crunch.
• Balance the flavours: Add a drizzle of honey if your blackberries are tart.
• Layer strategically: Ricotta first helps hold everything together.
• Make it your own: Try adding nuts, seeds, or a squeeze of lemon for extra brightness.
