Honey Ricotta Crostini

  • 1/2 baguette
  • 1/4 cup plus 3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
  • 1/2 teaspoon plus 1/8 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1 cup ricotta cheese
  • 1 teaspoon lemon zest
  • 1/3 cup honey
  • 2 tablespoons coarse flake sea salt, such as Maldon
  • 3 tablespoons pink peppercorns, crushed
Serves 4 to 6

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.

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 and sprinkle with the 1/2 teaspoon salt. Bake until golden brown and crunchy, 10 to 12 minutes. Set aside to cool.

In a small bowl, whisk together the ricotta, lemon zest, 3 tablespoons olive oil, and 1/8 teaspoon salt.

Once the crostini are cool, top each with 1 heaping tablespoon of ricotta mixture, a drizzle of honey, and a pinch of coarse salt and a sprinkling of crushed pink peppercorns. Serve at room temperature.
