Spiced Maple Ricotta & Cherry Toasts
with Cashews & Apple Slices
Toast: It’s the best thing since sliced bread. Though obviously delicious all on its own, it gets even better in the hands of our talented chefs. Sliced sourdough is toasted until golden, then spread with creamy maple ricotta. On top is a layer of sweet cherry jam, plus dried cherries and crunchy, buttery cashews. Garnish these sumptuous slices with a sprinkle of lemon zest, and serve with fresh apple slices on the side. This, friends, is truly a toast with the most.
