Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 4 slices of sturdy bread (such as sourdough or whole grain)
  • 1 cup ricotta cheese
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • 2 cups vine-ripened tomatoes (more depending on size)
  • Microgreens for garnish
  • Olive oil, for drizzling
  • Optional: Balsamic glaze for drizzling

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven and Roast Tomatoes (20 minutes): Preheat the oven to 400 degrees and roast the tomatoes until they begin to blister. Remove from oven and set aside.
  2. Toast the Bread (5 minutes): Toast the slices of bread until they are golden and crispy. You can use a toaster or a grill pan for added char and flavor.
  3. Whip the Ricotta (5 minutes): While the bread is toasting, place the ricotta cheese in a mixing bowl. Using a hand mixer or a whisk, whip the ricotta until it’s smooth and has a lighter, airy texture. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  4. Assemble the Toasts (5 minutes): Spread a generous layer of whipped ricotta over each slice of toasted bread. Arrange the blistered tomatoes on top of the ricotta. Season the tomatoes lightly with salt and pepper.
  5. Garnish and Serve: Sprinkle microgreens over the tomatoes for a fresh, vibrant finish. Drizzle a bit of olive oil over each toast, and if desired, add a drizzle of balsamic glaze for a touch of sweetness and acidity. Serve immediately.
