- 1/2 cup fresh cranberries

- 1 tbsp orange zest
- 1 tbsp honey or maple syrup

How to make Cranberry-Orange Ricotta Toast with Toasted Hazelnuts and Honey
- Prepare Cranberry Topping: In a small saucepan, combine 1/2 cup fresh cranberries, 2 tablespoons orange juice, and 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup. Bring to a gentle simmer over medium-low heat.
- Cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the cranberries soften and some begin to burst, creating a syrupy sauce. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
- Prepare Ricotta Spread: In a small bowl, combine 1 cup whole milk ricotta cheese, 1 tablespoon orange zest, 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup, and 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract. Stir gently until just combined and smooth.
- Toast the Bread: Heat a large skillet over medium heat, or use a toaster. Lightly butter 4 slices of thick-cut artisan bread on both sides. Toast the bread in the skillet for 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and crisp.
- Assemble the Toast: Spread a generous amount of the prepared ricotta mixture evenly over each slice of warm toast.
- Spoon the cooled cranberry topping over the ricotta.
- Sprinkle each toast with 1/4 cup toasted hazelnuts, roughly chopped.
- Garnish with a few fresh mint leaves, if desired, and serve immediately.
