Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Fig and Ricotta Crostini with Balsamic Drizzle.
Step 1
Begin by preheating your oven to a warm 375°F (190°C).
Step 2
Next, lay out the baguette slices on a baking sheet lined with foil, ensuring they are not greased.
Step 3
Slide the baking sheet into the oven and let the slices toast for about 5 minutes, or until the bottoms turn a delightful golden brown.
Step 4
Carefully flip each slice and return them to the oven for an additional 5 minutes, allowing them to become perfectly crisp.
Step 5
Once they are done, take the pan out and let the crostini cool for a moment.
Step 6
Generously spread about 1 tablespoon of creamy ricotta cheese on each toasted slice, then adorn them with delicate ribbons of fresh basil and a quarter of a fig for a touch of sweetness.
Step 7
To elevate the flavors, finish with a drizzle of aged balsamic vinegar just before serving.
Step 8
Enjoy this elegant appetizer that beautifully combines textures and tastes, perfect for any gathering.
