Peach-Ricotta Crostini with Balsamic and Rosemary
December 4, 2017 • Appetizers,
This is one of those super easy recipes that’s not really even much of a recipe. But what is, is delicious food that’s perfect for a party. You can toast the crostini and prep the other ingredients the day before, then assemble a couple of hours before your party. I served this at a book signing event recently paired with a Colorado creation by Chad Chisholm, author of Imbibe Worldwide, a Palisade Peach Martini made with Colorado Whiskey. Both the drink and the food have a little bit of sweetness, but not too much. In the summer make both the cocktail and the crostini with fresh peaches, but canned are better if peaches are out of season.
