Strawberry and fresh ricotta crostini
A delightful pairing of sweet strawberries and fresh ricotta.
About the recipe
Ricotta is a staple in my fridge – there are so many ways to use it, from cakes, to pancakes to a base for a crostini!
I know this combo sounds unusual, but when I discovered it in a little cafe in Santa Monica I’ve been obsessed ever since. It is a wonderful breakfast or snack option, and if you don’t have strawberries at hand, try substituting with blackberries. The tartness of the blackberries paired with the ricotta cheese makes for a great alternative.
Makes 12 crostinis.
Ingredients
- 1 fresh baguette, sliced into 1/2 -inch rounds
- 12 oz fresh ricotta
