A little Valentine’s appetizer for you and your special someone. We have here whipped ricotta with caramelized tomatoes and truffle oil. This is purely decadent and a delicious crostini appetizer. The cheese is so creamy and flavourful. You will have leftovers to put on your toast the next day to enjoy. The tomatoes are so delicious when they caramelize and the perfect balance to the cheese. Once you top it with the truffle oil it is over the top delicious. I also think the lemon zest makes the flavours pop and is such an important ingredient. It is a really easy recipe to make and enjoy.
