The best thing since sliced bread? Toasted bread! For this light lunch of perfectly balanced flavors, sliced sourdough is toasted until golden and spread with creamy ricotta. Next you’ll add a handful of lemon-kissed, peppery arugula, salty prosciutto, and top it off with thin slices of juicy apple drizzled with honey-mustard dressing. Truly a toast with the most.

Cooking Steps
• Wash and dry produce. Quarter lemon. Toast sourdough. Separate prosciutto slices and lay flat on a work surface; cut in half crosswise. Halve, core, and thinly slice apple.
• In a medium bowl, whisk together ricotta, a drizzle of olive oil (large drizzle for 4 servings), a pinch of salt, and pepper until whipped.
• In a large bowl, combine arugula, a drizzle of olive oil (large drizzle for 4 servings), juice from one lemon wedge (juice from two wedges for 4), a pinch of salt, and pepper.
• Spread a thin layer of ricotta over toasted sourdough slices. Top with arugula, prosciutto, and as many apple slices as you like. Drizzle with dressing.
• Divide toasts between plates; add a squeeze of lemon juice to taste over top. Arrange any remaining apple slices on the side and serve with remaining lemon wedges.

Review summary
Updated on Sep 2026- Flavor: The sweet-and-tangy combination of apple, honey Dijon dressing, and creamy ricotta works surprisingly well together; some found the dressing too mustardy and preferred a drizzle of honey or balsamic instead.
- Ease of prep: This comes together very quickly with minimal cooking — just toast, assemble, and serve, making it ideal for a fast lunch or light dinner.
- Suggestions: Cut the prosciutto and apple slices into smaller pieces before assembling to make the toasts much easier to eat and less messy. Some reviewers also enjoyed mixing lemon juice into the ricotta rather than the arugula for a brighter spread.
- Leftovers: The components don't hold well once assembled, so build just before eating; the arugula and dressing can double as a side salad if you have extra.
- Portions: Several reviewers felt there wasn't enough prosciutto — adding one extra slice per toast makes the flavors more balanced and satisfying.
Reviews from our home cooks
Love the recipe! We added a bit more Ricotta cheese, which we feel made it even better. Wish each toast had 2 slices of prosciutto rather than one. Overall, really delicious. We skipped the Dijon dressing it was really good without it. Again, very large portion, had some the next day!
This recipe tasted great, but the construction was not. It was very difficult and VERY messy to eat. My husband and I ate this 2 days in a row for lunch. The first day, they just all fell apart - the apple slices were too large and the prosciutto pulled away when we took a bite like a tablecloth in a poorly-executed magic trick. Day 2, we cut the apple smaller and ripped the prosciutto into smaller pieces, but it was still a mess. I guess we could have eaten with a knife and fork?
Delicious! Could use the instructions of toasting the bread and breaking up the prosciutto. I think next time it might be helpful to slice the apples since it's messy to eat this way.
Ten thousand stars. So great with the apples and the little drizzle. I did cook the prosciutto because it looked kind of like raw bacon. It was tasty cooked.
I ended up putting all of the prosciutto for the meal on one serving and I think it was better that way. Also I used a balsamic glaze and it paired very well.
Definitely tasty and I liked how quickly it came together. I ended up subbing out butter for the olive oil for toasting purposes which was good and gave it a slightly grilled cheese flavor profile. One star off because the apples felt too thick and crisp even when sliced as thin as I could get them.
Perfect convenient lunch. I wish it came with more ricotta though as I go through all of it on 2 slices.
This recipe was a surprise. I had no idea that combination of ingredients would taste so good. I didn't get the recipe card in the box so I had to try to use the instructions from my phone. That was very difficult. I prefer having the card.
I always get iffy when cheese, apples, mustards and other foods that don't sound like they go together are put together in one recipe, but this was delicious!
The apple gave it a sweet taste and the mustard complimented that with a tangy taste. Very good.
