Top toasted slices of French baguettes with creamy herbed whipped ricotta and tomatoes, whipped ricotta crostini is a fancy addition to your brunch menu but will likely be the easiest item!
Ingredients
1 french baguette, cut into ½-inch slices
1 cup cherry tomatoes (assorted colors), diced
½ tablespoon olive oil
¼ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
For the whipped ricotta:
1 cup whole milk ricotta
1 tablespoon good quality extra virgin olive oil (plus more for serving)
½ teaspoon honey
1 + ½ tablespoons fresh herbs (such as basil, mint, thyme, oregano, or chives), finely chopped
1 small clove garlic, minced
½ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
Directions
1. Toast the bread. Preheat oven to 350 F. Arrange sliced bread in a single layer on a large half sheet baking pan. Bake for 8-10 minutes until toasted.
2. Combine toppings. In a small bowl, toss to combine tomatoes, olive oil, salt and pepper. Set aside.
3. Make whipped ricotta. In a medium bowl, add ricotta, olive oil, honey, fresh herbs, garlic, salt and pepper. Beat with a hand mixer on medium speed until smooth and creamy, about a minute. You can also blend everything together in a food processor.
4. Assemble crostini. Add a large spoonful of whipped ricotta onto each toasted sliced bread. Top with a spoonful of the tomato mixture.
Note:
You can top this whipped ricotta crostini with whatever toppings that you like. Instead of tomatoes, you can add fruit, grilled vegetables, pitted olives, more fresh herbs, or a drizzle of honey.
