Ricotta Crostini

This is a wonderful simple appetizer or a great addition to a salad. Something that is very important for every foodie to practice is: Only use quality ingredients. This is so important but especially when so few are called for in a recipe.This recipe will yield about 24 pieces. But as you can see if using as side with salad or for a smaller group you can adjust to your specific needs.
Recipe Follows:

1 loaf French bread
1 clove garlic, peeled
Extra Virgin olive oil, for brushing
12 ounces Ricotta Cheese
Salt and fresh ground pepper


Directions:
Slice bread into 1/2 inch pieces, brush both sides with EVOO, light salt and pepper. You can either bake in oven 5 minutes on each side or until golden brown or grill both sides until golden.
Remove and rub both sides with garlic clove. Spread each with a about a tablespoon of Ricotta. Drizzle with EVOO and lightly salt and pepper.


Enjoy!!!
