Bread

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Bread

    Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Slice the sourdough bread into 1/2-inch thick slices.

  2. 2

    Toast the Bread

    Arrange the bread slices on a baking sheet. Drizzle with olive oil and toast in the oven for about 8-10 minutes or until golden brown.

Topping

  1. 3

    Prepare the Tomato Mixture

    While the bread is toasting, chop the baby heirloom tomatoes into halves or quarters, depending on their size. In a mixing bowl, combine the chopped tomatoes with salt and pepper.

  2. 4

    Make the Herbed Ricotta

    In a separate bowl, mix the ricotta cheese with chopped fresh basil leaves. Add salt and pepper to taste. Stir until well combined.

Assembly

  1. 5

    Assemble the Bruschetta

    Once the bread is toasted, remove it from the oven. Rub the toasted side of each slice with the cut side of the garlic cloves for added flavor.

  2. 6

    Top with Mixtures

    Spread a generous layer of the herbed ricotta on each slice of toast. Top with the tomato mixture and drizzle with balsamic glaze.
