Fig and Ricotta Crostini with Honey
Servings 8 people
Ingredients
- 1 organic whole grain or gluten-free baguette cut into 8 - 1 inch diagonal slices
- 1 Tbsp extra-virgin olive oil
- 1/2 cup ricotta cheese
- 8 fresh figs, quartered
- 1 Tbsp honey
- 1 Tbsp fresh thyme, leaves left whole
- Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
Instructions
- Place oven rack in center position. Preheat oven to 350 F. On large, rimmed, parchment-lined baking sheet, arrange baguette slices and brush with oil. Bake until bread is toasted, about 8 to 10 minutes. Allow to cool for 5 minutes.
- To assemble crostini, divide ricotta evenly among crostini, spreading to coat. Arrange 4 fig quarters on each slice, then drizzle with honey, top with thyme, and crack fresh black pepper over top. Serve immediately.
