If you’re looking for a quick and easy healthy recipe that’s bursting with fresh flavors, this ricotta and tomato toast is a must-try!
Ingredients
For the Toast:
- 4 slices sourdough or ciabatta bread
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 garlic clove, halved
For the Topping:
- 1 cup (250g) ricotta cheese
- 1 cup (150g) cherry tomatoes, halved
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon balsamic glaze
- 5–6 fresh basil leaves, torn
Instructions
Brush the bread slices with olive oil and grill in a pan for 2-3 minutes per side until golden and crispy. While warm, rub the surface with a garlic clove for extra flavor.
In a bowl, toss the cherry tomatoes with salt, black pepper, and balsamic glaze. Let them sit for a few minutes to enhance their flavor.
Evenly spread ricotta cheese onto each slice of grilled bread.
Top the ricotta with the marinated cherry tomatoes and sprinkle with fresh basil leaves.
Drizzle with extra balsamic glaze and serve immediately as a savory movie snack or light meal.
Notes
- Use high-quality bread – Sourdough or ciabatta works best for a crunchy base.
- Let the tomatoes marinate – This deepens their flavor and makes them juicier.
- Choose full-fat ricotta – For the creamiest, richest texture.
- Add a drizzle of honey – A touch of sweetness balances the flavors beautifully.
