Crostini Ingredients

Method

Crostini Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Sourdough

    Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Slice the sourdough bread into 1/2-inch thick slices.

  2. 2

    Toast the Bread

    Brush both sides of each slice of sourdough with olive oil. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Place the slices on a baking sheet in a single layer and toast in the preheated oven for about 10-12 minutes, or until golden and crispy, flipping halfway through.

  3. 3

    Prepare the Whipped Ricotta

    In a mixing bowl, add the ricotta cheese and a pinch of salt and pepper. Using a hand mixer or a whisk, whip the ricotta until it’s smooth and creamy. Adjust seasoning to taste.

  4. 4

    Assemble the Crostini

    Spread a generous amount of whipped ricotta on each toasted sourdough slice. Top with a spoonful of winter caponata.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Arrange the crostini on a serving platter and drizzle with a little extra olive oil if desired. Enjoy!
