Smoked Salmon With Ricotta and Egg Toasts
These toasts combine toasted French bread topped with a whipped mixture of ricotta cheese, fresh herbs, and lemon, layered with sliced hard-boiled eggs and smoked salmon. The final touch of minced red onion and a squeeze of lemon juice enhances the flavors.
