Orange Hot Honey and Ricotta Toast

Alright, buckle up, because today we're diving into breakfast territory that doesn't involve soggy cereal or suspiciously chewy granola bars. This morning, we're making hot honey and ricotta on toast, and trust me, this isn’t your average brunch nonsense.

Let’s be real: breakfast can be a bit of a let down. It's usually just a means to fuel up before you dive into whatever existential crisis awaits you at work. But every once in a while, you stumble upon a recipe that makes you reconsider your whole breakfast strategy. Enter orange hot honey and ricotta on toast—yes, it's a thing, and yes, it will make you rethink your life choices.

What you’ll need:

• 100g Ricotta Cheese
• 2 tbsp Milk
• Extra Virgin Olive Oil
• 2 Slices of Sourdough
• 20g Salted Pistachios: Roughly chopped.

For the Hot Honey:

• 80g Dark Honey
• 1 tsp Chilli Flakes
• 1 Strip of Orange Peel
• A Pinch of Ground Cinnamon
• 2 tsp EAGER Orange Juice: The secret ingredient that makes this honey a game-changer.

The Recipe:

1. Prepare the Hot Honey:
• In a saucepan, combine the dark honey, chilli flakes, strip of orange peel, and a pinch of ground cinnamon. Heat the mixture until it’s bubbling at the edges. Let it cook for about five minutes, then turn off the heat.
• Remove the orange peel and stir in the orange juice. Let this sweet, spicy concoction cool down while you work on the rest.
2. Prepare the Ricotta:
• In a small bowl, loosen the ricotta cheese with the milk. This makes it easier to spread and ensures a creamy layer on your toast.
3. Assemble the Toast:
• Drizzle extra virgin olive oil over your toasted sourdough. This not only adds flavour but also helps prevent the ricotta from making your toast soggy.
• Spread the loosened ricotta generously over each slice using the back of a spoon. 
• Drizzle the hot honey generously over the ricotta. Don’t be shy—this is where the magic happens.
• Top each slice with chopped salted pistachios to give your toast a crunch.
• Pair your creation with a refreshing glass of orange juice.
