How to Make Ricotta and Blackberry Jam Crostini

Need something fancyish? This crostini recipe will become your go-to hors d’oeuvre pick. It does double duty as a stress-free afterwork or after-school snack, too. To make it, you don’t actually need an entire footlong baguette here; the recipe works surprisingly well with slices from a standard hoagie or submarine roll—as long as it’s not already split.

Step-By-Step Instructions:

Using a bread knife, trim off the rounded ends of the roll. Cut the roll into 12 slices, about 1/2 inch thick each. Toast the bread slices in a toaster until golden brown.
Top each slice with 1 Tbsp of the ricotta cheese, then 1 tsp of the jam. Evenly top with the blackberries, then sprinkle with the salt. Arrange on a platter and serve.
