Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 garlic clove
Kosher salt
1 tablespoon red wine vinegar
6 tablespoons olive oil, divided
3/4 pound assorted small tomatoes (such as cherry, Sun Gold, or green), halved, quartered if large
Freshly ground black pepper
8 3/4"-thick slices country-style bread
1 cup (loosely packed) coarsely chopped mixed tender herbs (such as basil, parsley, small dill sprigs, and/or chives)
10 ounces whole-milk ricotta

Steps:

  • Finely chop garlic, sprinkle with a pinch of salt, then mash with the side of knife to a fine paste. Transfer to a medium bowl and whisk in vinegar and 2 tablespoons oil. Add tomatoes; season with salt and pepper and toss to coat. Let sit, tossing occasionally, at least 15 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, prepare grill for mediumhigh heat. Brush both sides of bread with remaining 4 tablespoons oil and grill until lightly charred, about 2 minutes per side.
  • Just before serving, toss herbs with tomato mixture. Spread ricotta on toast and top with tomato mixture; cut toast in half.
  • Do ahead: Tomato mixture (without herbs) can be made 12 hours ahead. Cover and chill.

I'm allergic to tomatoes, so I used roasted red peppers instead. It was still delicious!

This recipe is a bit too simple for my taste. I think it would be better with some more complex flavors.

I found this recipe to be a bit bland. I think it would be better with some additional seasoning.

I'm not sure what went wrong, but my bread was soggy. I think I might have grilled it for too long.

I'm a vegetarian, so I used grilled eggplant instead of chicken. It was delicious!

This recipe is a great way to use up leftover bread. I always have a few slices of bread that are about to go stale, and this is a great way to use them up.

I made this for dinner last night and it was a big hit with my family. My husband said it was the best grilled cheese sandwich he's ever had.

I'm not a big fan of tomatoes, but I really enjoyed this dish. The ricotta cheese and basil really balanced out the flavor of the tomatoes.

This dish is a great way to showcase fresh, summer tomatoes. I used a variety of heirloom tomatoes, and they were all delicious. I also added a few slices of avocado to the sandwich, and it was even better.

I love this recipe! It's so easy to make and it always turns out great. I usually add a little bit of garlic and oregano to the ricotta cheese, and sometimes I'll use a different type of bread, like sourdough or whole wheat. It's also a great way to

This recipe is a delightful blend of flavors and textures. The grilled bread is crispy on the outside and soft on the inside, while the ricotta cheese is creamy and tangy. The tomatoes add a burst of sweetness and acidity, and the basil adds a touch
