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
2 tablespoons grated Parmesan
Salt and pepper

2 tablespoons minced shallots
2 tablespoons olive oil

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.

  • 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 had trouble finding morel mushrooms, so I used shiitake mushrooms instead. They worked well in this recipe.

The crostini were a bit too salty for my taste, but otherwise they were good.

I'm not a big fan of fava beans, but these crostini were surprisingly good. The puree was smooth and creamy, and the morel mushrooms added a nice flavor.
