Strawberry and fresh ricotta crostini

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.
