Bruschetta with Figs, Ricotta Cheese and Ham

by Editorial Staff

Despite the huge number of ways to prepare bruschetta, this version of the traditional Italian snack deserves special attention. The slight bitterness of arugula and a crunchy baguette with quality olive oil create the perfect balance of flavors and textures. The appetizer has everything you need to fall in love for a long time. To add freshness to the ricotta, you can try adding the zest of 1 lemon to it and leaving it in the refrigerator for several hours. Serve bruschetta between meals to refresh your mouth.
