Toppings

Method

Bruschetta Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Baguette

    Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Slice the French baguette into 1/2-inch thick slices. Arrange the slices on a baking sheet.

  2. 2

    Coat with Olive Oil

    Drizzle the olive oil over the baguette slices and sprinkle with salt. Bake in the preheated oven for about 10 minutes or until golden brown and crispy.

Lemon Ricotta Preparation

  1. 3

    Mix the Ricotta

    In a medium bowl, combine the ricotta cheese, lemon zest, lemon juice, and a pinch of salt. Mix until smooth and creamy.

Pickled Red Onion Preparation

  1. 4

    Slice and Pickle

    Thinly slice the red onion. In a saucepan, combine the apple cider vinegar, water, sugar, and salt. Bring to a simmer over medium heat, stirring until the sugar dissolves. Remove from heat and add the sliced onion. Allow to cool for at least 30 minutes.

Assembly

  1. 5

    Assemble the Bruschetta

    Spread a generous layer of the lemon ricotta on each toasted baguette slice. Top with slices of N'Duja sausage, pickled red onion, and a handful of fresh arugula.
