# Expert Tips:

01 -
  • It’s secretly impressive but outrageously simple to whip up, making you look like a brunch genius.
  • The crunchy, creamy, sweet, and tangy combination is so satisfying, you’ll find yourself craving it at all hours.
02 -
  • If your bread isn't sturdy enough, it will collapse under the toppings—a rookie mistake I learned quickly.
  • Letting the ricotta sit out while you prep everything else makes it spread more easily and taste richer.

  • Toast your pistachios very briefly for extra aroma—they burn quicker than you think.
  • An extra pinch of flaky salt right before serving adds magic you wouldn’t expect.
