Ricotta & Berry Toast Fingers

Ingredients

• 1 slice whole-grain bread
• 3 tablespoons ricotta cheese (full-fat)
• 3 tablespoons blueberries or raspberries (mashed)

Method

1. 01

   Toast a slice of soft whole-grain bread until golden.

2. 02

   Spread a generous layer of ricotta cheese over the toast while still warm.

3. 03

   Wash blueberries or raspberries and mash them lightly with a fork to release juices.

4. 04

   Spoon the mashed berries over the ricotta and spread gently.

5. 05

   Cut the toast into finger-width strips (about 3–4 strips) and serve.

How to offer

Lay toast fingers flat on the high chair tray for easy grasping. Always supervise during feeding. Strips should be finger-width for a 9-month-old's developing pincer grasp. Ricotta adds a creamy, calcium-rich spread that is safe from 6 months.

Storage

Best made fresh. Components can be stored separately — ricotta refrigerated 3 days, berries refrigerated 2 days.
