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.
