WHAT YOU’LL NEED:

• 10 ounces multi-colored cherry tomatoes
• 2 garlic cloves, thickly sliced
• 5 basil leaves
• 5 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for drizzling
• Kosher salt
• Pepper
• 1 pound fresh ricotta cheese
• 8 slices of country bread, cut 1/4-inch thick and toasted
• Flaky sea salt, for serving

WHAT YOU’LL DO:

1. Preheat the oven to 450.
2. In a bowl, toss the tomatoes with the garlic and 1 tablespoon of the olive oil. Season with kosher salt and pepper.
3. Transfer the tomatoes to a parchment-lined baking sheet.
4. Bake for 15 minutes, until bursting and lightly caramelized. Transfer to a bowl and tear in basil. 
5. Spread the ricotta on the toasts and top with the tomatoes.
