Turn the heat off and set it aside.
Ricotta cream
Add the ricotta cheese, the salt, the ground pepper, and the lemon zest in a medium bowl and whisk with a fork until well combined.
Bread toast
Toast the slices of bread for 10 minutes in an oven tray.

Once the slices of bread are well-toasted spread on each one the ricotta, set down the courgette, add few leaves of thyme, and sprinkle with some Extra virgin olive oil.
