Strawberry & Ricotta Crostini. It’s a perfect balance of creamy, crunchy, and sweet.
​Here is a recipe to recreate the look and flavor of those vibrant toasts.
​Ingredients
​Bread: 1 French baguette or sourdough loaf, sliced into rounds.
​Base: 1 cup whole-milk ricotta cheese (whip it with a spoon for extra fluffiness).
​Fruit: 2 cups fresh strawberries, hulled and sliced.
​Crunch: ¼ cup roasted pistachios, roughly chopped.
​Sweetener: 2 tablespoons honey or balsamic glaze for drizzling.
​Freshness: A few sprigs of fresh mint.
​Toast Prep: 2 tablespoons olive oil or melted butter.
​Instructions
​Toast the Bread:
Brush both sides of your bread slices with olive oil or butter. Grill them in a pan or bake at 200°C for about 5–8 minutes until they are golden brown and charred at the edges, just like in 11351.jpg.
​Prepare the Topping:
While the bread toasts, toss your sliced strawberries with a teaspoon of honey or sugar and let them sit for 5 minutes. This creates that glossy, jam-like sheen seen in the image.
