When it comes to holiday hosting, having one go-to appetizer you can count on makes all the difference. These Holiday Crostini are simple enough to prepare ahead, yet special enough to feel right at home on a festive table. They’re the kind of bite that invites everyone in — from kids reaching for “just one more” to adults lingering near the appetizer tray.
At the heart of this recipe is a pillowy whipped ricotta, blended until impossibly light and smooth. A touch of honey adds gentle sweetness, while orange zest and SIMPLi Peruvian Herb Salt bring brightness and balance without overwhelming young or grown-up palates. Spread or piped onto crisp, olive oil–toasted baguette slices, the ricotta melts into every nook, creating a soft contrast to the golden crunch.
Finished with fresh thyme, pops of pomegranate, and a drizzle of SIMPLi ROC Spanish EVOO, these crostini strike that perfect holiday balance: elegant but approachable, festive without feeling fussy. Whether you’re hosting a full house or bringing a dish to share, this is the appetizer that disappears first — and gets asked for again.
