Equipment
- Food Proccessor a good food processor is a staple in my kitchen!
- Piping Bag + Tip this will make the whipped ricotta look perfect on the crostini!
Ingredients
- 1 Baguette sliced into 1-inch thick slices
- 2 Tablespoons Olive Oil
- 2 Avocados ripe
- 1 15 Ounce Container Ricotta Cheese
- 1 Teaspoon Sea Salt
- 2 Tablespoons Lemon Juice
- 2 Cloves Garlic
- ¼ Cup Crushed Walnuts
- ⅓ Cup Pomegranate Seeds
- 3 Tablespoons Honey
Instructions
- To prepare these crostinis, start by preheating your oven to 350 F.
- Next, line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Slice the baguette into approximately 1-inch thick slices and line them up on the baking sheet.
- Then, brush the tops of the baguette slices with olive oil and transfer them into the oven. Bake the crostinis for 8-10 minutes, until the tops of the baguette slices are golden brown. Once they're done, remove them from the oven and set them aside.
- While the crostinis are baking, prepare the whipped ricotta. Add the avocado, ricotta cheese, sea salt, lemon juice, and garlic to a food processor and process for about three minutes, or until the whipped ricotta is perfectly smooth and creamy.
- Taste and adjust the salt and lemon as needed, then transfer the mixture into a piping bag with your choice of piping tip.
- Once the baguettes are done, pipe the whipped ricotta on top of each one, repeating until all of the ricotta has been used and the crostinis have been topped.
- Finally, garnish each crostini with a sprinkle of chopped walnuts and pomegranate seeds. Drizzle each crostini with a little honey, then serve and enjoy!
