Ingredients

  • 1 baguette
  • ¼ cup extra-virgin olive oil divided
  • ¾ teaspoon black pepper divided
  • ¾ tsp salt divided
  • 1 ½ cups whole milk ricotta
  • 1 ½ tablespoon honey plus more for drizzling
  • 1 tablespoon heavy cream
  • 1 teaspoon freshly squeezed lemon juice
  • 1 ½ cups halved cherries
  • 2 tablespoon chopped pistachios
  • 1 teaspoon chopped mint

Instructions

  • Pre-heat oven to 400 degrees.
  • Slice bread diagonally into ¼" slices and place on baking sheets. Brush bread lightly with about 3 tablespoon olive oil and sprinkle with ½ teaspoon salt and ½ teaspoon pepper.
  • Bake for 15-20 minutes until toasts are turning golden. Let cool.
  • In a blender or food processor, add ricotta, honey, heavy cream, remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil, lemon, ¼ teaspoon salt, and ¼ teaspoon pepper. Blend until very smooth and creamy. You can also do this in a stand mixer or in a large bowl with a hand mixer or rubber spatula.
  • Generously spread whipped ricotta mixture onto cooled toasts. Top with halved cherries, chopped pistachios, and chopped mint.
  • Drizzle with more honey right before serving.
