1 tbsp olive oil
½ tsp garlic powder
Salt and pepper, to taste
½ cup ricotta cheese
1½ cups roasted red peppers, chopped
½ cup crumbled feta cheese
¼ cup chopped Italian parsley or basil
Instructions

- Spread ricotta over each toasted baguette slice.
- Top with roasted red peppers, then sprinkle with feta.
- Finish with chopped parsley or basil.
- Serve immediately while crostini are crisp.
Notes
Drizzle balsamic glaze over the top for a sweet-tangy finish.
Swap ricotta with goat cheese, cream cheese, or mascarpone for variation.
Add toasted pine nuts or walnuts for crunch.
Grill baguette slices instead of baking for a smoky flavor.
Assemble just before serving to prevent sogginess.
