Ingredients

  • 40 - 45 grape or other small sweet tomatoes (less than a pint, halved)
  • ½ teaspoon dried basil
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 20 baguette slices about half a baguette
  • 1 cup whole milk ricotta
  • balsamic glaze to taste
  • fresh basil optional

Instructions

  • Heat the grill. Pre-heat your grill to medium-low heat.
  • Prepare the tomatoes. Add tomatoes, basil and olive oil to a small mixing bowl. Toss to coat.
  • Prepare the bread. Brush or spray one side of each baguette slice with olive oil.
  • Grill. Place a veggie grilling pan or basket on the grill and add the tomatoes. Place the baguette slices oil side face down on the grill. Cook both tomatoes and baguette for 6 minutes, until baguette is golden brown. Remove both from grill.
  • Assemble. Place the toasted baguette slices on a serving tray. Top with ricotta cheese and tomato (about 2 tomato pieces per slice). Drizzle with balsamic glaze and some fresh basil ribbons (if desired). Serve immediately.

Notes

If you don't have a veggie grilling pan you can place the tomatoes on aluminum foil on the grill.
