Instructions

  1. Adjust an oven rack to the top position and preheat the oven to 425°F.
  2. Slice the baguette crosswise into 8 rounds. Arrange the slices on a baking sheet and drizzle lightly with olive oil.
  3. Toast on the top rack until golden brown, 5 to 10 minutes.
  4. Meanwhile, season the ricotta with salt and pepper to taste.
  5. Spread the seasoned ricotta onto the toasted baguette slices.
  6. Drizzle hot honey over the top and serve immediately.

Recipe Tips

For extra crunch, toast the baguette slices a bit longer until deep golden.

If you don’t have hot honey, mix regular honey with a pinch of cayenne pepper.

FAQ

Can I use a different type of bread?

How do I store leftovers?

These crostini are best enjoyed fresh. If you have leftovers, store the components separately and assemble just before serving.

Can I make this dairy-free?

You can substitute the ricotta with a dairy-free alternative like cashew cheese or tofu ricotta.
