Ingredients

baguette, sliced into 1/2-inch thick rounds
tablespoons olive oil
1/2 cup fresh whole milk ricotta cheese
tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese
1/4 teaspoon sea salt
Pinch of black pepper
slices prosciutto di Parma, thinly sliced and torn
tablespoon truffle honey
Fresh chives, finely chopped, for garnish

Method

Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Brush both sides of the baguette slices with olive oil and toast on a baking sheet for 8 minutes
minutes, or until golden brown and crisp.
While the bread toasts, combine the ricotta cheese, Parmesan cheese, salt, and pepper in a small bowl. Mix gently until just combined.
Once the crostini are cooled slightly, spread a generous layer of the seasoned ricotta mixture onto each slice.
Top each crostini with a small piece of torn prosciutto.
Drizzle the truffle honey over the prosciutto and ricotta, and finish with a sprinkle of fresh chives. Serve immediately.

Chef's Tip & Pairing

For an extra layer of flavor, lightly toast the prosciutto in a pan for 30 seconds before tearing and placing it on the crostini. This adds a delightful crispness.
