Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 1/2 baguette (or 8 pieces)
  • 1 teaspoon olive oil
  • 2 ounces fresh ricotta
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt, preferably sea salt
  • 1 teaspoon mint, chopped
  • 24 cherries, pitted
  • 1 teaspoon local honey

Instruction

  • Preheat your broiler to high.
  • Pit your cherries, set aside.
  • Chop the mint.
  • Slice the baguette and arrange the pieces on a cookie sheet.
  • Lightly drizzle the baguette pieces with olive oil.
  • Broil for one minute or until the bread is crispy (watch the bread under the broiler, it can turn from toasted to burnt really quickly.)
  • Top each piece of bread with fresh ricotta.
  • Sprinkle with coarse sea salt, you only need a ¼ teaspoon for all of them. The salt will help bring out flavor so you need very little on each baguette.
  • Sprinkle the mint evenly among the bread slices.
  • Top each with 3 cherries. If you want, you can top with more mint.
  • Drizzle the honey over each slice and serve.
