AVOCADO RICOTTA CROSTINI
When I saw avocado and ricotta cheese being combined on a menu recently, I was intrigued. Not enough to order it, but enough to buy the ingredients for this homemade version! I found this to be a very delicious combination that was sort of unusual, and yet familiar, at the same time. These beauties would make for a great appetizer or snack in time for the height of entertaining season. Start spreading the news!

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
- Line a baking sheet with a silicone mat. Add baguette slices in a single layer and drizzle olive oil on top.
- Bake in the preheated oven until golden brown and crunchy, about 25 minutes. Let crostini cool completely.
- Halve and pit avocado. Scoop flesh out into a bowl and add ricotta cheese. Mash together using a potato masher until as smooth or chunky as you like. Add lemon juice, basil, salt, and cayenne; mix together, taste, and add more salt if needed. Spread mixture over the cooled crostini.
- Garnish crostini with tomatoes and radishes. Add a few drops of olive oil; sprinkle sea salt and chives on top.
