Ingredients

• 1-inch-thick baguette slices — the choice of baguette and the number of slices is up to you
• Extra virgin olive oil
• Ricotta cheese
• 1/2 teaspoon of finely grated lemon zest
• 1/4 teaspoon of kosher salt
• 1/8 teaspoon of freshly ground black pepper
• Honey

Preparation

1. Preheat oven to 180°C.
2. Drizzle the 1-inch-thick baguette slices with 2 teaspoons of extra-virgin olive oil.
3. Place on a baking tray and toast in the centre of the oven until the baguettes are lightly golden and crispy — this takes approximately 8 to 10 minutes.
4. After placing the baguettes into the oven, mix together ricotta cheese, lemon zest, kosher salt, black pepper and a tablespoon of olive oil to create the ricotta spread.
5. Once the baguettes have been toasted, spoon around 2 tablespoons of ricotta spread onto each slice and finish with a ¼ teaspoon of honey on top — a great starter is now ready to eat.
