Ingredients

Scale

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

Step 1: Grill the Bread

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.

Step 2: Prepare the Tomatoes

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.

Step 3: Spread the Ricotta

Evenly spread ricotta cheese onto each slice of grilled bread.

Step 4: Assemble the Toast

Top the ricotta with the marinated cherry tomatoes and sprinkle with fresh basil leaves.

Step 5: Serve & Enjoy!

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.
