Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 1/2 French Bread Loaf
  • 2 tbsp Olive Oil
  • 1/2 cup Ricotta Cheese
  • 1 Lemon zest of
  • 1/2 Lemon juice from
  • 1 cup Fresh Blueberries
  • Drizzle of Honey

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees and prepare a baking sheet with a baking mat, parchment paper, or aluminum foil.
  2. Using a bread knife, slice the French baguette into slices about 1/4 inch thick. If the slices are too thin they will fall apart and too thick slices will be too much bread.
  3. Place the baguette slices onto the baking sheet and either brush them with olive oil or spray them with a Misto sprayer.
  4. Bake for 10-12 minutes until they are toasted and a little crunchy.
  5. While the bread bakes, mix together the ricotta, lemon zest, and lemon juice in a small bowl.
  6. Wash the blueberries and dry thoroughly. Set aside.
  7. Using the second half of the lemon, cut it into round slices (not quarters) and then slice each round into quarters. Set aside.
  8. Once the bread is baked and cooled for a few minutes, use a spoon to smear about a half a tablespoon of the ricotta mixture onto each slice of bread.
  9. Top with a few blueberries and a slice of lemon.
  10. Drizzle with honey and serve.

Notes

  • Make sure to zest the lemon BEFORE you slice it. Once it is sliced it becomes very difficult to zest.
  • Note, these will get soggy as they sit. I do not recommend making these ahead of time. If you are running short on time, the bruschetta toasts and ricotta mixture can be made ahead of time but do not assemble until ready to serve.
