Number Of Ingredients 8

1 small baguette, cut into eighteen 1/2-inch-thick slices
4 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
Coarse salt and ground pepper
2 peeled garlic cloves
2 sprigs rosemary
1 package (10 ounces) frozen lima beans
2 tablespoons lemon juice
1 cup whole-milk ricotta

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Place baguette slices on a rimmed baking sheet and brush with 2 tablespoons oil; season with salt and pepper. Bake until golden, 10 minutes. Rub warm slices with garlic cloves; let cool.

I loved the idea of these crostini, but I found that the lima bean spread was a bit too thick. I would recommend thinning it out with a little bit of milk or water.

These crostini were a bit too salty for my taste, but otherwise they were very good. I would recommend using less salt in the lima bean spread.
