Ingredients
  • 4 full slices whole grain bread OR your favorite baguette (for small slices)
  • 1 clove garlic, peeled and sliced in half
  • Olive oil
  • 1 c. whole milk ricotta
  • 1 lemon, zested
  • 1 tsp. minced fresh chives
  • Handful fresh tomatoes, various sizes and colors, sliced
  • Flaky sea salt or kosher salt
  • Fresh, cracked black pepper
  • Fresh herbs (lemon thyme, oregano, dill, basil, parsley, cilantro - whatever you like or have handy). I used lemon thyme and micro greens.
Instructions
  1. Brush bread slices with a little olive oil, then place on a baking sheet in the oven at 425 degrees for about 5 minutes until they look nicely browned. OR, place the slices on a hot grill or grill pan for a few minutes, until you achieve pretty grill marks.
  2. While the bread toasts, combine ricotta, lemon zest and chives in a small bowl; set aside.
  3. Remove bread from oven or grill and rub the garlic halves over each slice, so they release their oils/flavor.
  4. Top each piece of bread with some ricotta mixture.
  5. Layer the tomatoes in a pretty pattern.
  6. Top with salt, pepper and fresh herbs.
  7. Cut in half (if using full slices of bread) or serve as small crostini.
