Tomato and Ricotta Crostini

Ingredients

  • 4 thick slices sourdough or other crusty bread
  • 1 large clove garlic, peeled
  • 4 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 cup ricotta cheese, well drained
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp coarsely ground black pepper

  • 2 cups cherry tomatoes cut in half lengthwise

  2. In a medium bowl, combine the ricotta cheese, salt, pepper, grated cheese and oregano until smooth. Divide and spread the mixture evenly over the 4 slices.
  3. In a separate bowl, toss the tomatoes with the remaining 2 tablespoons oil, the vinegar and sugar.
  4. Place tomato slices over the top of the ricotta and add a sprig of oregano for garnish. Serve immediately.
