I’m having a toast problem.
I will seriously put ANYthing on a piece of toast. It is getting ridiculous.
But! I have good reasoning.
Just look at this grainy, seedy bread! Would you want to throw everything on top of it too?
Whipped ricotta is not a new thing for me on toast – you know this! – but with roasted, caramely pineapple? Ooooooh. It’s (embarrassingly) the bomb.
Given my insane fruit obsession, pineapple ranks up there. There aren’t many fruits that I won’t eat by the bowl full. I love most fruits when they are roasted or grilled too, and pineapple is no exception. Especially with the freshness of the mint! And the creaminess of the ricotta. And the crunchiness of the toast.
My texture brain goes into overload.
There aren’t many people who would consider this a meal (um, hi, my husband?), and maybe I wouldn’t either. It probably wouldn’t be lunch, but it’s a perfect breakfast. Or a perfect snack for the time when you need a little something extra but don’t want to feel weighed down. Better than just a cookie, you know?
It’s this balance of savory and sweet that just gets me every.single.time.
Also, let’s revisit the toast issue. How do you like your toast? Toasted to oblivion? Warm bread that masquerades astoast but isreally not? I’m still on the super dark and golden, very extra crunchy toast train. Eddie is still very much on the warm bread train.
Sometimes he makes me breakfast and “toasts” the bread to have with eggs and it’s soft with not a golden hue in sight.
I need there to be CRUNCH, people!
Not only could this be breakfast or a snack, I’m fairly obsessed with the idea of serving it on tiny crostini as an appetizer at a party. How freaking cute would that be?
And let’s just get this out of the way: Eddie would nevvvvvver eat this. It’s totally not his thing. Not his taste buds. Not his palate. He’d maaaaybe eat it if the pineapple was in jam form, if that could be a thing. Wait! Is that a thing? Can caramelized pineapple jam happen? It should.
A drizzle of honey and a few sprinkles of sea salt take this over the top. It’s rather filling too – I mean, more filling than you would expect. It’s better than eating a brownie though, right? RIGHT?!

Yes, pineapple jam IS a thing ;) Lots of brands out there, but of course homemade is best (you need to make a caramelized version, for sure!).

I’m already wondering about using a mild feta, and roasting apricots or peaches instead (that’s what I have on hand anyway).

Because TJ’s owns me, I’m on an avocado toast everyday kick bc of the teeny tiny avocados and everything bagel seasoning. I add a drizzle of honey and red pepper flakes and it’s perfect.
I just got off of a ricotta, honey, cinnamon, and berries or swirl of ham kick. Also delicious.
And agree on the super dark toast. What’s the point if there isn’t a pile of crumbs left in your wake?!

I’m a medium toast kinda girl – light brown and just a little crispy. My husband likes things on the dark brown/bordering on charred side! Always with a little salted Kerrygold, though this looks just delicious. And I have a jar of pineapple preserves in my fridge, from making Jezebel sauce (so good). Caramelized pineapple jam sounds like perfection!

This turned out better than I expected! Only comment would be that if you place the pineapple on parchment paper as the recipe states, think twice before finishing it on broil! Afterwards I checked the fine print on my roll of parchment paper and it said oven safe up to 420 degrees – oops, lesson learned ;)
