Breakfast recipe tips
I often make the ricotta mix the night before and just keep in the fridge in an airtight container. You can do this with the berries too meaning there is less to do in the moment.
*I use a sandwich press for toasting sourdough and other dense bread as the bread dries out less than when you toast it in a normal toaster.
