Recipe Tips
For extra flavor, you can add a sprinkle of red pepper flakes or fresh herbs like thyme or basil on top.

Make sure to serve these crostini right after assembling to keep the bread crisp.
FAQ
Can I use a different type of bread?
Yes, you can substitute the demi-baguette with a regular baguette, ciabatta or any crusty bread. Just slice it into rounds and toast as directed.
What can I use instead of hot honey?
If you don’t have hot honey, you can make your own by mixing 3 tablespoons of honey with 1/2 teaspoon of red pepper flakes or cayenne pepper. Let it sit for a few minutes to infuse.
Can I prepare these in advance?
You can toast the baguette slices ahead of time and store them in an airtight container. When ready to serve, reheat them in the oven for a few minutes, then top with ricotta and hot honey.
