Ingredients

  • 1 baguette
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 cup ricotta cheese
  • 1 tbsp fresh chives
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1/2 cup pomegranate seeds
  • 1/4 cup crushed walnuts
  • 2 tbsp honey
  • flakey salt

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 400F. Slice the baguette into 1/4" slices. Lay the slices flat on a baking sheet and drizzle with 1 tbsp of olive oil. Toast in the oven for 7-10 minutes, watching closely so they don't burn. They should be golden brown.
  2. To make the whipped ricotta, add the ricotta and fresh chives to a food processor or blender. Let it begin to blend. While it is mixing, add 1 tbsp of olive oil. Let it blend for 1-2 minutes until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
  3. Transfer the mixture to a piping bag. Once the bread has completely cooled, pipe the whipped ricotta onto each piece of bread. Top with a few pomegranate seeds, walnut chunks, a drizzle of honey, extra chopped chives (optional), and a pinch of flakey salt. Enjoy!
