Some of the best recipes are the simplest. This Lemon Ricotta Crostini has become one of my favorite appetizers because it comes together in minutes, yet always feels elegant enough for guests.
Creamy whipped ricotta, fresh lemon zest, fragrant herbs, and a drizzle of honey create the perfect balance of sweet and savory. Whether you’re hosting a dinner party, serving cocktails on the patio, or gathering family around the table, this is one of those recipes people always ask for.
I hope it becomes one of your favorites, too.
