Ingredients

Servings
  • 1 baguette cut into 12 slices

Ricotta Spread

  • 3/4 cup ricotta cheese drain off any liquid in the container
  • 1 teaspoon orange zest
  • kosher salt fresh ground, to taste
  • black pepper fresh ground, to taste

Topping

  • 1/2 cup kalamata olive chopped
  • 1/2 cup red peppers chopped, roasted
  • 1 teaspoon red wine vinegar
  • 3/4 teaspoon rosemary finely chopped fresh
  • black pepper fresh ground, to taste
  • 1/4 cup pine nuts toasted

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 400° F.
  2. Cut the baguette into approximately 1/4 inch slices, brush one side with olive oil, sprinkle with salt and pepper and place them in a single layer on a baking sheet. Bake for 5-8 minutes or until golden brown and crisp. Let them cool completely before assembling.
  3. In a blender or food processor add the ingredients for the ricotta spread and purée until smooth. Taste for seasoning. You may need to add a teaspoon or olive oil or work the mixture off the sides if you're using a blender.
  4. Add the topping ingredients into a bowl and stir together.
  5. Spread the ricotta mixture evenly onto the baguette slices then spoon some of the olive and pepper mixture on top. Garnish with toasted pine nuts.
