Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Heat oven to 400°F. Lightly brush grissini with 1 tbsp olive oil and a pinch of salt.

  2. Step 2

    Spread on a sheet pan and bake until deeply golden and crispy, 8–10 minutes.

  3. Step 3

    Whisk ricotta with juice from half a lemon, salt, and pepper until light and airy.

  4. Step 4

    Toss microgreens with remaining 2 tbsp olive oil, a squeeze of lemon, salt, and pepper.

  5. Step 5

    Transfer grissini to a board. Dollop ricotta on the side, pile greens on top, and arrange baguette slices nearby.

  6. Step 6

    Serve immediately while grissini are still warm and crispy.
