Ingredients

• 1 loaf French baguette
• 3 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 cup Ricotta cheese
• 6 slices Prosciutto
• 12 leaves Fresh sage leaves
• 2 tablespoons Honey
• 0.5 teaspoons Salt
• 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

Thinly slice the baguette into 12 even pieces, about 1/2-inch thick each.

Step 3

Brush both sides of the baguette slices with 2 tablespoons of olive oil and place them on a baking sheet.

Step 4

Toast the baguette slices in the preheated oven for 6-8 minutes per side, or until golden and crispy. Remove and let them cool slightly.

Step 5

While the crostini are toasting, heat the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a small skillet over medium heat.

Step 6

Add the sage leaves to the skillet and fry them for 1-2 minutes per side, or until crispy. Remove and place them on a paper towel to drain any excess oil.

Step 7

In a small bowl, mix the ricotta cheese with salt and black pepper until smooth and well combined.

Step 8

Spread about 1 heaping tablespoon of ricotta mixture onto each toasted baguette slice.

Step 9

Fold each slice of prosciutto in half and place it on top of the ricotta layer.

Step 10

Drizzle a small amount of honey over each crostini for a touch of sweetness.

Step 11

Garnish each crostini with a fried sage leaf on top.

Step 12

Serve immediately and enjoy this delightful combination of flavors and textures.
