What You Get

Country bread 

Assorted citrus 

Toasted pistachios 

Ricotta cheese 

What You’ll Need

Olive oil

Salt 

Honey (optional)

Makes 6 servings

20 minutes active time

20 minutes total time

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 400°F. Line a sheet pan with parchment or foil.

Step 2

Slice half of the bread into pieces about ½ inch thick, reserving the rest for another use. Place the pieces on the prepared pan, brush with olive oil, and season with salt. Transfer the pan to the oven and toast until golden, about 5 minutes.

Step 3

Meanwhile, prep the citrus. Cut off the tops and bottoms, then trim away the white pith and peel, starting from the top and following the curve of the fruit. Slice the citrus into rounds or segments. Transfer the citrus and any juices to a bowl, and stir in 1 tablespoon olive oil. Roughly chop the pistachios.

Step 4

Spread each piece of toast with a spoonful of ricotta, and top with the citrus mixture. Drizzle with olive oil and honey, if you want more sweetness, and sprinkle lightly with salt. Scatter with the pistachios and serve.
