Ingredients
- 2 french baguette
- 2 cup ricotta cheese
- 1 1/2 lb vine tomatoes
- 3/4 oz fresh basil

- 5 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
- 2 tbsp red wine vinegar

- 2 tsp kosher salt

Method
Cut the tomatoes into thick wedges, salt them well, and let them sit 10 minutes to draw out juice.
Beat the ricotta with lemon zest and juice, 1 tablespoon olive oil, and a pinch of salt until smooth and light.
Slice the baguettes lengthwise, brush with olive oil, and toast under the broiler until golden. Rub the cut sides with a halved garlic clove.
Toss the tomatoes with the red wine vinegar, remaining olive oil, torn basil, and black pepper.
Spread the ricotta thickly over the toasts and cut into portions.
Spoon the tomatoes and all their juices over the top just before eating.
