Ingredients

1 crusty French baguette, sliced thin
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 teaspoons coarse salt, divided
2 teaspoons ground black pepper, divided
1 (15 ounce) container ricotta cheese
½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
3 tablespoons chopped fresh basil, divided
2 ounces shaved Parmesan cheese
1 teaspoon truffle oil
salt and ground black pepper to taste

Steps:

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
Line bread slices on a baking sheet in a single layer. Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with 1 teaspoon coarse salt and 1 teaspoon pepper.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10 minutes. Remove from the oven and let cool, about 10 minutes.
While bread cools, mix ricotta cheese, grated Parmesan cheese, 1 tablespoon basil, and remaining coarse salt and pepper together in a bowl.
Spoon ricotta mixture onto bread slices and top with remaining basil and shaved Parmesan pieces. Finish by drizzling with truffle oil and top with additional salt and pepper.
