Toppings

Method

Crostini Preparation

  1. 1

    Toast the Baguette

    Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Slice the baguette into 1/2-inch thick slices. Place the slices on a baking sheet and brush both sides with olive oil. Bake for about 10-12 minutes or until golden brown and crispy.

Saffron Ricotta Preparation

  1. 2

    Make the Saffron Ricotta

    In a small bowl, combine the ricotta cheese, saffron threads, honey, and salt. Mix until well combined. Allow the mixture to sit for at least 15 minutes to let the flavors meld.

Topping Assembly

  1. 3

    Prepare Walnuts

    Chop the walnuts into small pieces and toast them in a dry skillet over medium heat for about 3-4 minutes, stirring frequently until fragrant.

  2. 4

    Assemble Crostini

    Spread a generous spoonful of the saffron ricotta onto each toasted baguette slice. Top with toasted walnuts, a drizzle of local honey, and a sprinkle of sea salt to taste.
