I stole (guessed with my tastebuds) this recipe from one of my favorite restaurants in New York. These are a great hors d'oeuvre when you have some vegetarians in the mix, but incredibly delicious for carnivores as well. Very simple dish, but because of this, make sure you're not getting cheap-o ingredients. And if you want to keep the carnivores happy, a slice of pancetta between the pesto and ricotta is exquisite.
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees
Slice your baguette(s) into 3/4" thick rounds and spread onto a lined cookie sheet
Toast them in the oven until golden brown
Remove from oven and immediately brush olive oil onto the rounds and let them rest for 10 minutes
Spread a thin scrape of pesto on each round, ensuring that it covers the whole round
Dollop a rounded TB of ricotta onto each pesto-ed round
Drizzle honey and grind fresh pepper on top of each round
