Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 4 slices of sourdough or rustic bread
  • 1 cup ricotta cheese
  • 2 medium ripe tomatoes, thinly sliced
  • 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon sesame seeds
  • 1/2 teaspoon flaky sea salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • Fresh parsley or basil leaves, for garnish
  • Optional: 1 garlic clove, halved

Instructions

  1. Toast the Bread:
    1. Lightly toast the bread slices until golden brown. For an added layer of flavor, gently rub the toasted bread with the cut side of the garlic clove.
  2. Prepare the Ricotta:
    1. In a small bowl, mix the ricotta cheese with a pinch of salt and a drizzle of olive oil to enhance its creaminess and flavor.
  3. Assemble the Toasts:
    1. Spread a generous layer of the seasoned ricotta onto each toasted bread slice.
    2. Arrange the tomato slices evenly over the ricotta layer.
  4. Finish with Toppings:
    1. Drizzle the remaining olive oil over the tomato-topped toasts.
    2. Sprinkle with sesame seeds, flaky sea salt, and freshly ground black pepper.
    3. Garnish with fresh parsley or basil leaves for a burst of color and freshness.
  5. Serve:
    1. Enjoy the toasts immediately while the bread is still warm and crisp.

Notes

  • Variations: For added depth of flavor, consider roasting the tomato slices before assembling the toasts. You can also experiment with different types of bread, such as multigrain or ciabatta, to suit your preference.
  • Storage: These toasts are best enjoyed fresh. If you need to prepare them in advance, keep the toasted bread, ricotta mixture, and tomato slices separate, and assemble just before serving to maintain optimal texture.
