Easy, Cheesy Fresh Pea Crostini

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

Bring a pot of salted water to a boil. Cook peas in boiling water, uncovered, until bright green and tender ~2 minutes. Drain.

Place cooked peas and olive oil into a bowl. Using the back of a spoon, mash until coarsely ground. Add pecorino, lemon zest, lemon juice, and garlic to the bowl. Continue to mash until reached desired texture. (Optional: Use a blender or food processor instead)

Fold mint into pea mash. Salt to taste and set aside.

Place baguette slices onto a baking sheet. Drizzle with olive oil and bake until pale golden and crisp (8-10 minutes).

Spoon and spread pea mash onto crostini. Garnish with a drizzle of olive oil and freshly ground pepper. To make it extra springy, top with pea shoots and thinly sliced radishes.
