Ingredients
  

Toasted Baguette

  • 1 baguette
  • 1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil

Blistered Tomatoes

  • 2 cups cherry tomatoes washed and dried
  • 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
  • 2 garlic cloves sliced
  • salt and pepper to taste

Toppings

  • 1 cup ricotta
  • 1/4 cup chopped basil fresh
  • 1/4 cup honey

Instructions
 

Toasted Baguette

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Slice baguette into 1/4" rounds. Set rounds on unlined baking sheet and brush each one with olive oil. Bake for 10-15 minutes or until slightly toasted.

Blistered Tomatoes

  • Meanwhile, heat 2 Tbsp olive oil in a cast iron skillet over medium to medium-high heat.
  • Add sliced garlic to the oil and toast for about 30 seconds. Once fragrant, add the cherry tomatoes to the skillet. Allow them to cook for about 2 minutes, stir, and then turn off the heat. Allow them to set for 2 more minutes and then season generously with salt and pepper. Stir in the chopped basil.

Assembly

  • When the toasted baguette is done, top each round with a dollop of ricotta, a spoonful of tomatoes, and then drizzle with honey. Sprinkle a bit of coarse or flaky sea salt, if desired and enjoy!
