Sweet & Dessert

Ingredients

small baguette, sliced into 1/2-inch thick rounds
tablespoons olive oil
oz fresh whole milk ricotta cheese
tablespoons high
quality honey, plus extra for drizzling
fresh passion fruits, halved
teaspoon finely chopped fresh mint
Pinch of sea salt

Method

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Brush both sides of the baguette slices with olive oil and toast on a baking sheet for 8 minutes
minutes, or until lightly golden and crisp.
In a small bowl, gently whisk the ricotta cheese with 2 tablespoons of honey and a pinch of sea salt until smooth and creamy.
Once the crostini are cool enough to handle, spread a generous layer of the honey
ricotta mixture onto each slice.
Spoon the pulp and seeds from the halved passion fruits evenly over the ricotta.
Finish each crostini with a final light drizzle of honey and a sprinkle of fresh mint before serving immediately.

Chef's Tip & Pairing

For a smoother ricotta spread, ensure your ricotta is at room temperature before mixing. The best wine pairing for this sweet and tart treat is a slightly chilled, off-dry Prosecco or a Moscato d'Asti.
