Bruschetta Ingredients

Method

Preparation Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Baguette

    Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Slice the baguette into 1/2 inch thick pieces. Place the slices on a baking sheet and brush one side with olive oil. Toast in the oven for about 5-7 minutes, or until golden brown.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Tomato Topping

    While the bread is toasting, dice the fresh tomatoes and place them in a bowl. Chop the fresh basil leaves and add them to the bowl with the tomatoes. Drizzle with the remaining olive oil, and season with salt and black pepper. Mix gently to combine.

  3. 3

    Assemble the Bruschetta

    Once the baguette slices are toasted, remove them from the oven. Spread a generous amount of house-made ricotta on each slice. Top with the tomato and basil mixture.

  4. 4

    Serve

    Arrange the bruschetta on a serving platter and serve immediately, drizzling with extra olive oil if desired.
