Bruschetta Ingredients

Method

Preparation Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Bread

    Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Slice the baguette or Italian bread into 1/2-inch thick slices.

  2. 2

    Toast the Bread

    Arrange the bread slices on a baking sheet and brush one side with extra virgin olive oil. Bake in the preheated oven for about 5-7 minutes, or until golden and crispy.

  3. 3

    Whip the Ricotta

    In a medium bowl, combine the ricotta cheese, honey, a pinch of sea salt, and cracked black pepper. Whip with a fork or whisk until creamy and smooth.

  4. 4

    Infuse with Garlic

    Peel and cut the garlic cloves in half. Once the bread is toasted, rub the cut side of the garlic onto the toasted side of each slice for a light garlic flavor.

  5. 5

    Assemble the Bruschetta

    Spread the whipped ricotta mixture generously over the toasted bread. Drizzle with additional honey, sprinkle with sea salt, cracked black pepper, and fresh herbs if using.

  6. 6

    Serve

    Serve the bruschette immediately while the bread is warm and enjoy!
