Lavender Honey & Fresh Ricotta on Crostinis
This lavender honey and fresh homemade ricotta is a different and really delicious appetizer to make or even bring to a party. If you were to bring this to a friends house you’ll want to keep everything separate and let the guests put the dollop of ricotta onto the crostini and drizzle on the lavender honey because it is to hard to travel with plus it presents well when you have them all separate. There are some lovely flavors going on here between the taste of the sweet lavender flowers in the honey, the creaminess of the ricotta and the crunch of the crostini…what an amazing trio! It’s such an easy appetizer to make your friends will think you slaved over making the ricotta. This dish would be really nice paired with a citrusy or fruity white wine like a Alain Paret 2011 Cotes Du Rhone Blanc at around $15.99 has big ripe peaches on the palate that’s great with apps or poultry.
