These crostini are simple, elegant, and pack a lot of sumptuous truffle flavor into every bite. The secret is truffle honey - it has the perfect balance of sweet and savory. Truffles pair exceptionally well with Parmigiano Reggiano, which is mixed into every bite of fluffy ricotta.

Enjoy these crostini alongside a spritz, Prosecco or some northern Italian wine to truly set the scene!

Ingredients

    For The Crostini:

  • 1/2 baguette
  • ¼ cup olive oil

    • For The Mixed Ricotta:

  • 3/4 cup ricotta cheese
  • 3 tablespoons high quality extra-virgin olive oil
  • ½ cup microplaned or finely grated Parmigiano Reggiano
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt

    • For Topping:

  • 1 to 2 tablespoons truffle honey, for topping
  • Fresh rosemary, chopped, for serving

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
  2. On a slight bias, slice the baguette into 1/4-inch slices. Brush the slices with the 1/4 cup olive oil, then place on a baking sheet. Bake until golden brown and crunchy, 10 to 12 minutes. Set aside to cool.
  3. In a small bowl, whisk together the ricotta, extra virgin olive oil, Parmesan, and 1/4 teaspoon salt.
  4. Once the crostini are cool, top each with 1 heaping tablespoon of ricotta mixture and a drizzle of truffle honey. Top each crostini with a small pinch of fresh rosemary.
