Ricotta Day 2: Ricotta-Tomato Toasts

Description:

These kind of remind me of high class pizzas - tomato and ricotta on crunchy french or italian bread.

Ingredients:

• - 4 slices crusty bread (or more depending on the size; we used little ones)
• - 1/2 cup part-skim ricotta cheese
• - 1/4 cup tomato slices
• - olive oil
• - Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste

Directions:

1. Lightly toast bread.

2. Spread each toast slice with 2 tablespoons ricotta.

3. Put tomato over the ricotta. Drizzle the toasts with a small amount olive oil and sprinkle with salt and freshly ground black pepper.

4. Broil 1 to 2 minutes, or until cheese is bubbly.

What we thought:

From someone who doesn't care for tomatoes, these were yummy. And they were so cute! Not super filling though - better suited for appetizers or finger food.
