Ingredients

4 slices artisan bread, or other crusty bread
¼ cup extra virgin olive oil, more for drizzling
2 cloves garlic
1 cup ricotta cheese
2 pints cherry or grape tomatoes, or sliced heirloom tomatoes
salt and pepper, to taste
1-2 tablespoons fresh basil, sliced thin

Instructions

Brush the 4 slices artisan bread, generously with some of the ¼ cup extra virgin olive oil,. You can toast them in an air fryer at 380 degrees Fahrenheit for 3-4 minutes, in the oven at 400 degrees Fahrenheit for 8-10 minutes, or in a large skillet over medium-high heat for 8-10 minutes. Flip the bread halfway through, regardless of the toasting method. Remove to a plate or cooling rack once toasted to your preference.
Remove the skin from 1-2 cloves garlic, and then, while the toast is still warm, rub the cloves over the surface of each slice of toast. The more you rub the garlic, the stronger and sharper the garlic flavor will be.
Once the toast has cooled, spread a generous amount of the 1 cup ricotta cheese on each slice. Top with some of the 2 pints cherry or grape tomatoes,a light drizzle of olive oil, a few cracks of flakey salt and pepper,and some of the 1-2 tablespoons fresh basil, .
Cut each piece of toast in half, if desired, and enjoy immediately.
