Whipped Ricotta Avocado Crostini

Step 1

To prepare these crostinis, start by preheating your oven to 350 F.

Step 2

Next, line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 3

Slice the baguette into approximately 1-inch thick slices and line them up on the baking sheet.

Step 4

Then, brush the tops of the baguette slices with olive oil and transfer them into the oven. Bake the crostinis for 8-10 minutes, until the tops of the baguette slices are golden brown. Once they're done, remove them from the oven and set them aside.

Step 5

While the crostinis are baking, prepare the whipped ricotta. Add the avocado, ricotta cheese, sea salt, lemon juice, and garlic to a food processor and process for about three minutes, or until the whipped ricotta is perfectly smooth and creamy.

Step 6

Taste and adjust the salt and lemon as needed, then transfer the mixture into a piping bag with your choice of piping tip.

Step 7

Once the baguettes are done, pipe the whipped ricotta on top of each one, repeating until all of the ricotta has been used and the crostinis have been topped.

Step 8

Finally, garnish each crostini with a sprinkle of chopped walnuts and pomegranate seeds. Drizzle each crostini with a little honey, then serve and enjoy!
