Instructions

1
1. Preheat the oven to 200 °C / 400 °F. Place the seedless red grapes on a small sheet pan, toss them with the olive oil, fresh thyme leaves, 1 tablespoon of honey, and a pinch of fine salt. Roast for 12 to 15 minutes at 200 °C / 400 °F, until juicy and lightly burst.
2
2. While the grapes roast, combine the ricotta, 2 tablespoons of honey, lemon zest, vanilla extract, and a pinch of fine salt in a bowl. Whisk or stir until smooth and creamy.
3
3. Place the sliced almonds in a small skillet over medium heat and toast for 2 to 3 minutes, stirring constantly, until golden and fragrant. Remove immediately so they do not burn.
4
4. Melt the butter in a large skillet or griddle over medium heat. Toast the brioche slices on both sides for 1 to 2 minutes per side, until golden and crisp around the edges.
5
5. Spread each warm brioche slice with a layer of honey ricotta. Spoon the roasted grapes and their juices over the top.
6
6. Finish each toast with the toasted almonds and a light sprinkle of ground cinnamon. Serve right away.

Chef tips

For a lighter ricotta texture, whip it for 1 extra minute. Black grapes also work well and give a deeper flavor.

Substitutions

You can swap the almonds for pecans or pistachios. Brioche can be replaced with challah or milk bread. For a less sweet version, reduce the honey to 2 tablespoons total.
