Recipe this week: Peach and Honey Whipped Ricotta Crostini

Ingredients:

1 Baguette

1 1/2 cups Whole Milk Ricotta

1/4 cup Honey

fresh peaches, peeled and sliced

1/8 teaspoon Salt (and more for seasoning)

Balsamic Reduction (store bought)

1 ounce Fresh Basil for Garnish

Directions:

Preheat oven to 350 F

Cut your baguette into 1/4 inch slices. Lay bread slices flat on a baking sheet and spray (or brush) with oil. Season the slices with just a bit of salt. Toast in the pre-heated oven for 8 minutes

Combine the Ricotta, Honey, and Salt in a food processor (with a blade attachment) or high power blender. Pulse until just combined. You don’t want to over mix the ricotta or it will become runny and fall through any air holes in your crostini

Once your crostini has cooled, top them with a dollop of the ricotta mixture, a peach slice, and a basil leaf. Place crostini on a tray and drizzle with balsamic reduction
