Pear Crostini with Honey + Thyme
Pear Crostini with Honey + Thyme
I have not stopped thinking of these pear crostini since Lindsay and I made them last week and I cannot recommend these enough for your next gathering! So flavorful, so elegant and SO EASY. And an such a stunner to serve guests this holiday season!
Ingredients :
1 baguette, thinly sliced
1 tablespoon of extra virgin olive oil + more for brushing
16 oz whole milk ricotta
1 bosco pear, thinly sliced
1 tablespoon fresh thyme leaves
Honey for drizzling
Pinch of kosher salt
Method:
Preheat the oven to 400F. Line a sheet tray with parchment paper and set aside.
Slice the baguette into ¼” slices cut on the bias. Add the baguette slices to the prepared sheet tray and brush lightly with olive oil. Toast the baguette until lightly golden in color, about 8-10 minutes.
In the meantime, add the ricotta to a blender with 1 tablespoon of extra virgin olive oil and a pinch of salt. Pulse until fully blended and creamy.
Once cool enough to handle, top each toast with a swipe of whipped ricotta followed by a pear slice. Drizzle with honey and garnish with fresh thyme. Transfer to a large platter and serve!
