Ricotta salata is a dry salted ricotta cheese that can be found in specialty grocery stores. Ingredients:
6 fully cooked bacon slices |
2 teaspoons honey |
1/8 teaspoon ground red pepper |
24 arugula leaves |
12 thinly shaved pieces ricotta salata or parmesan cheese |
2 tablespoons balsamic glaze (we tested with gia russa) |
Directions:
1. Place bacon on a baking sheet lined with aluminum foil. Combine honey and pepper; brush onto bacon. Bake at 375° for 5 minutes or until hot. Cut bacon in half crosswise.
2. Place baguette slices on a serving platter; top with arugula leaves. Arrange bacon and cheese on arugula. Drizzle each canapé with 1/2 tsp. balsamic glaze. Serve immediately.
3. *Make your own balsamic glaze by reducing balsamic vinegar. Cook 1/2 cup balsamic vinegar in a small saucepan over medium heat 9 minutes or until syrupy and reduced to 3 Tbsp. Cool completely.
