Plum Recipe #3: Bobby Flay's Caramelized Plum-Ricotta-Black Pepper Crostini

Wowza! I just spotted this recipe while browsing the Food Network site. It looks so simple and I imagine the combination of caramelized plum, creamy ricotta, spicy pepper, and crunchy baguette is amazing.

This recipe would be great as an appetizer or as a dessert served alongside a dessert wine.

Ingredients

  • 12 slices French baguette, lightly grilled
  • 1/4 cup fresh orange juice
  • 3 tablespoons sugar
  • 4 plums, halved, pitted and sliced
  • 1 1/4 cups fresh ricotta
  • Freshly ground black pepper

Directions

Bring the orange juice and sugar to a simmer in a large saute pan, over medium-low heat. Add the plums and cook until slightly softened and caramelized.


Top each piece of bread with some of the plum mixture, then a dollip of ricotta and a sprinkling of black pepper.
