My ROASTED STRAWBERRY RICOTTA TOAST sure had it’s moment on the web so I wanted to create another delicious toast recipe and since we are still in the midst of cherry season, what better summer toast topping is there than sautéed cherries?!
It’s no secret that I have been posting lots of cherry recipes on Instagram, I have been completely obsessed with them this summer. They make the most perfect snack and since I discovered my handy dandy cherry pitting tool you can shove handfuls of fresh cherries in your mouth at a time, haha!
This Sauteed Cherry and Thyme Toast is so flavorful, but yet so easy- perfect for a no-fuss summer brekkie or snack. Toast your favorite gluten-free bread, slather on some dairy-free cream cheese and then top with juice, sautéed cherries. Then drizzle with honey or agave syrup and garnish with fresh thyme. You could also top your gluten-free toast with my HOMEMADE VEGAN RICOTTA CHEESE if desired and that would be so delicious too!
