For the Bruschetta:
1 baguette, sliced into 1/2-inch rounds
2 tbsp olive oil
1/2 tsp salt
For the Ricotta Spread:
1 cup whole-milk ricotta cheese
2 tbsp heavy cream
1 tbsp olive oil

1/4 tsp black pepper
For the Toppings:
6 slices prosciutto, crisped
1/4 cup balsamic glaze

Directions:
Prepare the Bruschetta: Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Arrange baguette slices on a baking sheet, brush with olive oil, and sprinkle with salt. Toast for 8-10
minutes until golden and crisp.
Crisp the Prosciutto: Heat a dry skillet over medium heat. Add prosciutto slices and cook for 1-2 minutes per side until crispy. Transfer to a paper towel to
cool, then break into smaller pieces.
Make the Ricotta Spread: In a food processor or with a hand mixer, blend ricotta, heavy cream, olive oil, salt, and black pepper until smooth and fluffy.
Assemble the Bruschetta: Spread whipped ricotta on each toasted baguette slice. Top with crispy prosciutto pieces and a drizzle of balsamic glaze and honey.
