Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 loaf French baguette
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 cup Ricotta cheese
- 6 slices Prosciutto
- 12 leaves Fresh sage leaves
- 2 tablespoons Honey
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Thinly slice the baguette into 12 even pieces, about 1/2-inch thick each.
Brush both sides of the baguette slices with 2 tablespoons of olive oil and place them on a baking sheet.
Toast the baguette slices in the preheated oven for 6-8 minutes per side, or until golden and crispy. Remove and let them cool slightly.
While the crostini are toasting, heat the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a small skillet over medium heat.
Add the sage leaves to the skillet and fry them for 1-2 minutes per side, or until crispy. Remove and place them on a paper towel to drain any excess oil.
In a small bowl, mix the ricotta cheese with salt and black pepper until smooth and well combined.
Spread about 1 heaping tablespoon of ricotta mixture onto each toasted baguette slice.
Fold each slice of prosciutto in half and place it on top of the ricotta layer.
Drizzle a small amount of honey over each crostini for a touch of sweetness.
Garnish each crostini with a fried sage leaf on top.
Serve immediately and enjoy this delightful combination of flavors and textures.
