Avocado Ricotta Crostini
- 1 baguette, sliced
- 2 drizzles olive oil, or to taste
- 1 large ripe Hass avocado
- 3/4 cup ricotta cheese, or more to taste
- 1/2 lemon, juiced
- 1 tablespoon finely sliced fresh basil
- kosher salt to taste
- 1 pinch cayenne pepper, or to taste
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes, sliced, or to taste
- 5 radishes, sliced, or to taste
- 1 pinch flaky sea salt
- 1 teaspoon snipped fresh chives
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
- Line a baking sheet with a silicone mat. Add baguette slices in a single layer and drizzle olive oil on top.
- Bake in the preheated oven until golden brown and crunchy, about 25 minutes. Let crostini cool completely.
- Halve and pit avocado. Scoop flesh out into a bowl and add ricotta cheese. Mash together using a potato masher until as smooth or chunky as you like. Add lemon juice, basil, salt, and cayenne; mix together, taste, and add more salt if needed. Spread mixture over the cooled crostini.
- Garnish crostini with tomatoes and radishes. Add a few drops of olive oil; sprinkle sea salt and chives on top.
