  • ½ teaspoon kosher salt
  • 4 sprigs fresh thyme (plus extra for garnish)
  • 1 cup ricotta cheese (at room temperature)
  • honey, optional

Notes

  • Baguette: You'll need 12 to 14 slices so you may not use the whole baguette, depending on how large it is. 
  • How to make crostini: To prepare the bread toasts (crostini), refer to how to make crostini. It's very easy to do and the recipe will show you three different ways to toast the bread. 
  • Variations: Use green grapes or another type of seedless grape, if you like. You can roast cherry or grape tomatoes in much the same way to use instead of grapes, if you prefer. If you're not a fan of ricotta, try a different type of spreadable cheese.
