Ingredients

> 1 lb fresh cut cantaloupe chunks
> 3 tbsp olive oil, divided
> Bamboo skewers, soaked
> 16 slices baguette
> 1 cup ricotta
> 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
> 1/4 cup shelled roasted salted pistachios
> 1/4 cup small mint leaves

Steps

1
Set grill to medium-high. In a medium bowl, toss cantaloupe with 1 tablespoon oil, salt and pepper. Thread onto skewers and grill until grill marks appear, turning occasionally, about 4 minutes. Brush baguette slices with remaining 2 tablespoons oil and grill 2 minutes per side, until grill marks appear and bread is toasted.
2
Meanwhile, in a small bowl, stir together ricotta and Parmesan. Finely chop pistachios.
3
Remove cantaloupe from skewers and finely chop. Spread ricotta mixture on baguette slices. Spoon cantaloupe onto baguette slices. Garnish with pistachios and mint.
