Test Kitchen Tip: Make the squash blend, ricotta mixture, and slice the toasts up to 24 hours in advance. Store each in a separate airtight container (the toast at room temp, the other two in the fridge). Just before the party, toast the bread as you allow the other two elements to come to room temp. Then layer it up! Test Kitchen Tip: This DIY condiment makes seven half-pints. Enjoy one at the soirée, then send guests home with a jar each as a thoughtful food gift that will extend the celebration.
