For toast worth toasting, blend your favorite shades of food coloring with cream cheese or ricotta, then embellish at will.
Ingredients:
For the toast:
4 slices of bread, toasted
6oz ricotta, cream cheese or dairy free spread (we like Kite Hill)
Supernatural Food Color, any color(s)
Embellishment ideas (pick any):
Sweet:
Honey
Apple or banana slices
Sprinkles
Nut butter
Savory:
Hummus
Olive Oil
Microgreens
Za'atar
Divide ricotta or cream cheese among small bowls, into however many portions you need for your chosen color(s). You may want to preserve some white cheese, too.
Prepare your color(s), then add drop by drop to each bowl of cheese until reaching your desired color.
With a knife or the back of a spoon, swirl colors onto toast. Wiping down the utensil between swoops will help your colors stay distinct.
Embellish to your heart's content.
