1
Prepare the Bread
Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Brush each slice of bread lightly with olive oil.
2
Char the Bread
Place the oiled bread slices on the grill. Grill for about 2-3 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and have nice grill marks. Remove from heat.
3
Prepare the Ricotta
In a bowl, season the ricotta cheese with salt and black pepper. Mix in the minced garlic clove and half of the fresh basil leaves, chopped.
4
Assemble the Dish
Spread a generous amount of the ricotta mixture on each slice of charred bread. Drizzle with balsamic reduction and top with the remaining fresh basil leaves.
5
Serve
Serve immediately as an appetizer or snack, enjoying the creamy ricotta with the crispy, charred bread.
