I love quick and easy appetizers because when I’m having friends and family over, I don’t want to spend a lot of time in the kitchen. These crostini might look fancy, but it only takes a few minutes to assemble!
How to Make Blackberry Ricotta Crostini
Simply slice a baguette into 1″ slices and drizzle with olive oil.
Then toast the baguette until it just begins to brown.
Top each baguette slice with a scoop of ricotta cheese.
Then top each slice with blackberries, a drizzle of honey, and a sprinkle of fresh herbs!
Substitution Ideas
- Can’t find blackberries? Try it with strawberries or peach slices instead! Be sure to use fresh fruit though. I don’t recommend using frozen berries in this recipe.
- You can use any kind of artisan baguettes like a rustic French baguette or ciabatta bread.

Do you have to serve the crostini as soon as it comes out of the oven? I ask because I am looking for an app to take to a friends house.
The bread can start to get kind of soggy if it sits too long but if it’s just like 15-20 minutes that wouldn’t be a big deal!
