Crostini Base

Method

Preparing the Crostini

1

Slice the Baguette

Using a sharp knife, slice the baguette into 1/2-inch thick slices.

2

Brush with Olive Oil

Place the baguette slices on a baking sheet and brush both sides lightly with olive oil. Sprinkle with salt.

3

Toast the Bread

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Bake the baguette slices in the oven for about 10 minutes or until golden brown and crispy, flipping halfway through.

Preparing the Fruit Topping

4

Prepare the Fruits

Wash and slice the seasonal fruits into bite-sized pieces.

5

Mix the Topping

In a mixing bowl, combine the sliced fruits with honey and balsamic glaze. Gently toss to coat the fruits evenly.

6

Add Ricotta

In a separate bowl, scoop the ricotta cheese and mix it lightly. This will act as a creamy base on the crostini.

Assembling the Crostini

7

Spread Ricotta on Crostini

Once the crostini are toasted and slightly cooled, spread a generous spoonful of ricotta cheese on each piece.

8

Top with Fruits

Spoon the fruit mixture over the ricotta on each crostini, ensuring a good distribution of fruit.

9

Garnish with Mint

Finish by garnishing with fresh mint leaves on top of the fruit for an added burst of flavor.
