Recipe: whipped ricotta crustini with truffle honey

truffle honey

🥗Healthier: agave syrup

💰Cheaper: honey

Agave syrup is lower in calories and honey is more economical.

ricotta cheese

🥗Healthier: cottage cheese

💰Cheaper: cream cheese

Cottage cheese is lower in fat and cream cheese is often less expensive.

Add 2 cups of ricotta cheese into a mixing bowl.

Add 3 tablespoons of chopped fresh chives to the ricotta.

Pour in 1/4 cup of heavy cream to the bowl.

Fold in the cream and herbs evenly into the ricotta until well mixed.

In a separate bowl, combine 2 cups of local Maine clover honey with 1/4 cup of truffle oil.

Stir the honey and truffle oil together until combined.

Take a standard baguette and cut it into pieces for crostini.

Toast the baguette pieces over an open flame until charred on one side, about a few seconds.

Spread a generous layer of the whipped ricotta mixture onto each toasted baguette piece.

Slice an apple for garnish and add it on top of the crostini.

Drizzle the truffle honey mixture over the ricotta on each crostini.

Finish with a sprinkle of sea salt and some additional chives for garnish.
