Whipped Ricotta, Citrus & Pistachio Crostini

Whipped ricotta citrus and pistachio crostini

Ingredients

  • 1 baguette, sliced
  • 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
  • 1 cup whole-milk ricotta
  • 2 tablespoons mascarpone
  • 1 teaspoon lemon zest
  • 1 orange, segmented and chopped
  • ¼ cup roasted pistachios, chopped
  • 2 tablespoons Paul’s Blood Orange Balsamic
  • Flaky salt and black pepper

Method

  1. Heat the oven to 400°F. Brush the baguette slices with olive oil and bake until crisp and lightly golden.
  2. Whip the ricotta, mascarpone, lemon zest, a pinch of salt and black pepper until smooth.
  3. Spread the ricotta over the warm crostini. Top with orange and pistachios.
  4. Finish with Paul’s Blood Orange Balsamic and a small pinch of flaky salt.

Pour it with Prosecco di Treviso DOC.

The bubbles lift the creamy ricotta while the wine’s pear and citrus notes echo the bright balsamic finish.
