• If you prefer a stronger orange flavor, you can add a little orange juice to the ricotta mixture.

Storage and Serving

• These crostini are best served immediately after assembling to maintain their crispiness.
• If you have any leftover crostini, store them in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days.
• To serve, you can reheat the crostini in a 350°F (175°C) oven for a few minutes to regain their crispiness.
