If there are more than 3 steps I’m out 😂 Protect your energy and choose easy snacks this holiday!!! 

Whipped Ricotta Toast with Pear

Ingredients:
Fresh baguette, sliced into whatever size you want
1 16 oz. tub of whole milk ricotta (drain any excess liquid)
Lemon zest from 1 lemon, plus a small squeeze of juice
Salt
Olive oil
2 ripe pears, sliced thin and drizzled with lemon juice to prevent browning

Special Tools:
1 quart-size plastic bag or piping bag

Make it!

1. In a blender or food processor, add the ricotta, lemon zest, a small squeeze of lemon, two generous pinches of salt, and a drizzle of olive oil. Blend on high until fluffy, 45 seconds. Taste and adjust for salt. Blend again for 45-60 seconds more, until the ricotta is fluffy, but holds shape. Transfer the mixture into a plastic bag or piping bag, seal the top or twist it, and then slice off the corner on a diagonal, about ½ inch long. 

2. Test your piping skills on a plate first. You can always add the ricotta back into your bag!

3. Lay the pear slices on each slice of bread and pipe the ricotta onto the bread in a wavy formation. If that’s too hard, just do little dollops. Serve immediately! They begin to wilt about 5-10 minutes in, so you don’t want to put them out too early. I also recommend making the mixture and chilling in the piping bag until guests arrive. Enjoy!
