Whip the ricotta

In a small bowl, stir ricotta with lemon zest, honey, and a pinch of salt until fluffy and spoonable, about 30 seconds.

Toast bread in a skillet over medium heat with a little butter or oil until golden on both sides, 2 to 3 minutes per side. Warm blueberries in the same pan 1 to 2 minutes until they just begin to soften and gloss.

Assemble and serve

Spread ricotta thickly on each toast. Spoon warm blueberries over the top, drizzle with honey, and finish with a little extra lemon zest if you like. Serve right away.
