- 1/2 tbsp honey
- 1/2 tsp salt

Instructions
- Set the oven to 450 degrees.
- Next cut the french baguette into thin slices, about 1/2 inch. Spread the slices on a large baking sheet and brush with extra virgin olive oil. This will be about 2 tbsp.
- Bake for 6-8 minutes until golden brown, keeping a close eye so there is no burning.

- Add the whipped ricotta to the crostini. Top with fresh parsley, an extra drizzle of honey, and black pepper.
