ingredients

  • 1 baguette, thinly sliced into ½ inch rounds and toasted as desired

For the Whipped Sheep's Milk Cheese

ingredients

  • 7 ounces Valbreso
  • 7 ounces plain Greek yogurt
  • 2 1/2 tablespoons honey
  • 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil

For the Topping

ingredients

  • 1 1/2 tablespoons fig jam
  • 1 teaspoon honey
  • 1 tablespoon water, plus more as needed
  • Chopped pistachios
  • Edible flowers, to garnish (optional)

Method

  • Step 1

    Combine the sheep's milk cheese, Greek yogurt, honey, and olive oil in a food processor. Blend until smooth.

  • Step 2

    In a small bowl, whisk together fig jam, honey and water until it has the consistency of syrup.

  • Step 3

    Transfer the honey whipped sheep's milk cheese to a piping bag and pipe onto crostini using a zig-zag motion. If you do not have a piping bag, create a makeshift one by transferring the whipped sheep's milk cheese to a ziploc bag and snipping off the corner with scissors to pipe onto the crostini.

  • Step 4

    Top the crostini with chopped pistachios, fig drizzle, and edible flowers for garnish.
