FAQs about The Sweet Bruschetta

Can I use a different type of ricotta?

Yes. Sheep or goat ricotta adds a richer Mediterranean flavor, but cow’s milk ricotta works perfectly too. Just make sure it’s well drained so the bruschetta stays creamy without getting soggy.

What kind of bread works best for sweet bruschetta?

Sourdough, rustic rye, or Italian country bread are ideal because they toast beautifully and stay crisp under the ricotta and honey. Avoid very soft sandwich bread, which tends to absorb too much moisture.

Can I turn this into a lighter or vegan version?

Absolutely. For a lighter option, choose low-fat ricotta. To make it vegan, replace ricotta with plant-based ricotta or a creamy almond spread, and swap honey with maple syrup or agave.
