Avocado toast has been relegated to oblivion ever since TikTok went wild for a new kind of toast: ricotta toast. The craze has even caught on with American rapper and singer Lizzo, who’s ricotta toast video nears two million likes.

As the trend continues to catch on, more and more internet users are having fun trying out the recipe for themselves, which is a simple one at that.

First, take a piece of bread, then toast it. Purists will use the oven of course, but anyone else can reach for the toaster — it’s your call. Then, remove the slice without burning your fingers. Next, use a knife and spread some ricotta on the toasted bread.

Next, you need to add some kind of tasty garnish, such as a handful of seasonal vegetables like tomatoes or even grilled eggplants.

The singer Lizzo, who has 17 million TikTok followers, chose to brown her bread in a pan with olive oil before topping her ricotta toast with arugula. Some TikTokers even revisit the recipe in a sweet version with raspberries and strawberries. Looks like it’s time to get toasting!
