Crostini with ricotta and sun-dried tomatoes are great as a simple and quick breakfast, or as a light snack with wine.

How to cook Crostini with ricotta and sun-dried tomatoes

Step 1

Cut sun-dried tomatoes into small pieces.

Step 2

Cut the ciabatta into pieces and lightly drizzle them with olive oil.

Step 3

Fry the ciabatta pieces in a pan or on the grill until golden brown. So the pieces will be crispy on the outside and soft inside. You can also toast bread in a toaster.

Step 4

Then it remains only to generously spread ricotta on toasted bread, put chopped sun-dried tomatoes on top and sprinkle the whole structure with freshly ground black pepper.

Crostini with ricotta and sun-dried tomatoes - FAQ About Ingredients, Baking Time and Storage

Can I use a different type of bread instead of ciabatta?

Yes, baguette, Italian bread, or even sourdough work well. Just adjust the cooking time as needed.

What can I use instead of ricotta cheese?

Mascarpone, cream cheese, or even a whipped feta would be delicious substitutes for ricotta.

How long can I store leftover crostini?

It's best to assemble only what you'll eat immediately, as the bread can get soggy. Store the toasted bread separately at room temperature for up to 2 days in an airtight container, and ricotta in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Sun-dried tomatoes, kept in their oil properly sealed, can be stored in the fridge for up to a week.

Are these crostini vegetarian?

Yes, this recipe is vegetarian. Ensure your ingredients (especially the bread) are vegetarian-friendly.

How can I make this recipe vegan?

Substitute the ricotta cheese with a vegan ricotta alternative made from nuts or tofu. Many store-bought options are also available.

Can I add other toppings to the crostini?

Absolutely! Fresh basil, a drizzle of balsamic glaze, or a sprinkle of red pepper flakes would add extra flavor.

What's the best way to reheat the toasted bread?

Reheat the bread in a toaster oven or a dry pan for a few minutes to crisp it up again.
