Yield 12 to 15 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

1/2 cup olive oil
1 baguette, sliced into 40 (1/4-inch) thick slices
1 cup peeled and cooked fava beans
1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil
1 clove garlic
1 lemon, juiced

Salt and pepper

  • In a skillet on high heat, saute the mushrooms in 2 tablespoons olive oil and shallots until tender. Season the mixture with salt and pepper, to taste.
  • Spread a spoonful of the fava puree on each slice of baguette and then top with a small amount ricotta then garnish with a piece of cooked morel.

I'm not sure I can find fava beans at my local grocery store. Do you have any suggestions for substitutes?

This recipe was a bit too time-consuming for me. I think I'll stick to my old crostini recipe.

I'm not a big fan of fava beans, but I still enjoyed this recipe. The ricotta and morel mushrooms really helped to balance out the flavor.

This crostini recipe is a delightful symphony of flavors and textures. The creamy fava bean puree pairs perfectly with the tangy ricotta and earthy morel mushrooms. The crispy bread adds a satisfying crunch to each bite.
