Portobello and Ricotta Crostini
Cooking tip: Having a party? When planning your low carb spread, think about which dishes you can make in advance and which need fresh ingredients that day.

Ingredients:

  • 1 tablespoon Extra Virgin Olive Oil
  • 1/2 tablespoon Balsamic Vinegar
  • 1/2 teaspoon Salt
  • 1 cap Portobello Mushroom Cap
  • 1 1/2 ounces Ricotta Cheese (Whole Milk)
  • 1 teaspoon Garlic
  • 1 1/2 tablespoons Tomato Paste

Directions:

Use the Atkins recipe to make Atkin's Low Carb Wheat Bread.
  1. Preheat oven to 425°F.
  2. Combine half the oil with the vinegar and minced garlic. Brush mixture on both sides of mushroom. Place mushroom, top side up, on a foil-lined baking sheet and bake until golden and soft, about 15 minutes. Cut in half, then thinly slice crosswise to form crescent-shaped pieces.
  3. Turn on broiler. Cut two circles from each slice of bread with a 2 round biscuit cutter. Brush both sides of circles with remaining oil and broil on a baking sheet 4 from heat source 30 to 40 seconds per side. Transfer toasts to a rack to cool.
  4. To assemble: Mix ricotta with salt. Spread each toast evenly with tomato pesto, then with ricotta. Top with slightly overlapping mushroom slices. Sprinkle with parsley, if desired.
