In a bowl, combine ricotta cheese, olive oil, salt, and pepper. Use a hand mixer or whisk to whip the ricotta until light, airy, and smooth (about 1-2 minutes).

1. Heat a griddle or skillet over medium heat. Lightly brush the bread slices with olive oil on both sides and toast in the skillet for 2-3 minutes per side until golden and crispy. Alternatively, toast the bread in a 400°F (200°C) oven for 5-7 minutes.
2. In a small bowl, combine honey, lemon zest, and thyme leaves. Stir to infuse the honey with lemon and thyme flavors.
3. Once the bread is toasted, spread a generous layer of whipped ricotta on each slice. Drizzle with lemon thyme honey and sprinkle with chopped pistachios.
4. Drizzle with extra olive oil and garnish with fresh thyme sprigs if desired. Serve immediately.
