In my book a birthday goes hand in hand with the celebrant's favorite foods. My son in law Frank will probably eat anything I put on the table, but he does have his preferences. I decide to indulge him.
On a trip to Long Island wine country, we had lunched at Jamesport Vineyards. Their ricotta apple toast was relished by Frank. That is what I try to recreate. Putting a few choice items together results in food magic. Fresh ricotta, apple slices and balsamic glaze sit atop ciabatta. This is a really easy literal pick-me-up appetizer. One I know Frank will appreciate.
RICOTTA APPLE TOASTS
Serves 3-4
1 small Ciabatta loaf
1 cup fresh Ricotta cheese
1 Apple, cut into slices
Balsamic Glaze, storebought or home made
Place a paper towel over a strainer. Scrape the ricotta onto the paper. Let the cheese sit for 10 minutes so most of the liquid drains off.
Slice ciabatta into 1/2" thick slices.
Spread heaping teaspoons of ricotta on bread.
Top with apple slices.
Drizzle with balsamic glaze.
Arrange on a plate and enjoy.
