- 1 cup whole milk ricotta cheese
- 1 Winter Sweetz Texas Red Grapefruit peeled and segmented
- ⅔ cup candied pecans roughly chopped
- Honey
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Place baguette slices on a baking pan and spray or brush with a bit of olive oil. Bake for about 5-7 minutes or until crisp and lightly golden. Remove from oven and set aside.

- Carefully arrange grapefruit segments on each piece.
- Sprinkle with chopped candied pecans and finish off with a drizzle of your favorite honey. Serve immediately.
Notes
Variations:
- Try using other types of cheese such as goat cheese, mascarpone or Boursin
- Skip the cheese and spread mashed avocado on the crostini instead. Grapefruit and avocado go great together!
- Use roasted pistachios or walnuts instead of pecans.
- Gluten-Free: Use your favorite gluten-free baguette or bread instead of regular.
- Dairy Free/Vegan: Use vegan ricotta or plant-based cream cheese in place of regular ricotta. Omit honey if desired and drizzle with date syrup or agave nectar.
