Tomato Toast with Herbed Ricotta
OK- this recipe is SO easy I almost didn’t share it. BUT it’s sooooo good. Fresh, late Summer tomatoes are the star in this recipe and I promise you this will blow you away.
Ingredients
1 slice sourdough bread
1 garlic clove
1/3 cup ricotta cheese
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon pepper
1/2 teaspoon lemon zest
1 teaspoon chopped fresh parsley
1 teaspoon chopped fresh rosemary
1 teaspoon chopped fresh basil
1 teaspoon chopped fresh chives
Heirloom tomatoes- about 2 or 3 depending on your size
Olive oil
Flaky sea salt
Instructions
First thing you want to do is toast your bread until a slight golden brown
Once toasted, take the garlic clove and cut a small slice off the end. Rub the garlic clove all over the toasted bread. It will melt into the bread and the heat will slightly cook it
In a small bowl combine the ricotta, salt, pepper, lemon zest, and all herbs until combined. Spread all over the toast
With a serrated knife cut the tomatoes into thick slices and arrange on the top of the toast
Drizzle the top with olive oil, a good sprinkle of flaky sea salt, and a crack of black pepper. You won’t even believe how amazing this is!!
