Ingredients

  • Equipment: Masterbuilt Gravity Series Grill
  • 4-5 ripe Persimmons diced
  • 1/3 cup Maple Syrup
  • 2 tbsp. Unsalted Butter cubed
  • 1-2 tbsp. Fresh Thyme Leaves
  • 15 oz. Whole Milk Ricotta Cheese
  • 2 tbsp. Heavy Whipping Cream
  • Zest of 1 Lemon
  • Honey for serving
  • 1 Baguette
  • 2-3 tbsp. Softened Butter
  • Pomegranates for garnishing
  • Salt & Black Pepper to taste

Instructions

  • Preheat your Masterbuilt Grill to 450F.
  • In a cast iron skillet, add the diced persimmons, maple syrup, and cubed butter. Season with salt and black pepper to taste. Add the thyme leaves.
  • Place on the grill and cover the lid to cook 10 minutes, or until the maple syrup begins to bubble.
  • In the meantime, sliced the baguettes in half lengthwise and spread the softened butter evenly over the insides. Place on the grill to cook 4-6 minutes, until golden and crisp.
  • Slice the baguette into crostini-like pieces.
  • In a food processor or high-speed blender, combine the ricotta, lemon zest, and heavy whipping cream. Blend until smooth and fluffy. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.
  • TIP: There are a variety of ricotta brands, so if you find yours to be more liquid-y, I recommend trying to strain out some of the liquids prior. Or press out with a paper towel.
  • Spoon the whipped ricotta on a rimmed serving dish. Use a slotted spoon to transfer the persimmons on top.
  • Drizzle with either honey or the maple syrup from the skillet.
  • Garnish with more fresh thyme, pomegranates, and enjoy with the butter baguette slices!
