I live for a holiday app!\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

This whipped ricotta crostini is festive, super flavorful and always a hit at parties. Plus, it looks super pretty on a tray! You\u2019ll love it and serving it at a holiday party this season may be your new flex.<\/span><\/p>\n

It\u2019s also a really great Thanksgiving appetizer because it\u2019s so bite-sized. One of these won\u2019t ruin your appetite for the big meal, but it will hold you over until everything is ready. It\u2019s just enough.<\/span><\/p>\n

The savory, sweet and slightly spicy combo is perfect and so satisfying! It hits every note that you\u2019re craving and has lots of texture too.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

While I don\u2019t love having a ton of appetizers at Thanksgiving \u2013 I really do prefer the focus to be on the giant meal, and dessert of course \u2013 I still need a few things. Because I want people to come early and spend the whole day at my house, so I want options! If they are hungry, I want to have something out.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The key is that it can\u2019t be something that takes a long time (or kitchen space) to prepare. This works well because you can prep the ingredients a day or so before and then assemble right before serving.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

This is how it comes together!<\/span><\/h3>\n

I take a baguette and toast it until it\u2019s golden and crisp. Bonus points if you rub it with a sliced clove of garlic!\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

A day or so ahead of time, I will whip the ricotta in my food processor. Then I\u2019ll store it in a sealed glass jar in the fridge.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

I also crisp up the pancetta and chop the dates. I keep these in a container in the fridge too and I usually just mix them together. But I do make sure to remove them from the fridge an hour or so ahead of assembly.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The rest is a hot honey drizzle and some fresh rosemary. Both of those are super easy and can be thrown on right at the end!<\/span><\/p>\n

Before serving, I spread the ricotta on the baguette slices, top with the pancetta\/date mix, drizzle with the hot honey and sprinkle with the rosemary.<\/span><\/p>\n

It\u2019s SO easy. And it looks fancy!\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\"whipped\"whipped<\/p>\n

Having a pretty appetizer is half the battle and not only do we want it to look beautiful, but also super delicious. The honey gives it a glaze that is so appealing, you won\u2019t be able to stay away. It\u2019s the ideal tiny bite!\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

I might just make a big giant toast just like it.<\/p>\n
