Ingredients

  • 1 Sourdough bread loaf
  • 3 oz Garlic Better Butter
  • 1 C. Ricotta cheese
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • 2-3 Large tomatoes, sliced thick
  • ½ C. Fresh basil leaves, chopped, to garnish

Directions

1. Preheat the oven – Preheat your oven to 350°F. It’s time to bring the heat, but not too much—just enough to crisp up that bread to perfection.

2. Prepare the bread – Slice the sourdough bread into even slices, then arrange them on a baking sheet. Brush each slice generously with Garlic Better Butter, ensuring it reaches all the way to the edges. This is where the magic happens.

3. Bake the bread – Pop the bread in the oven and bake for 5-10 minutes. The goal here is to get the bread slightly crisp with a golden, butter-soaked edge. Once the butter is melted and the bread is toasty, it’s time to take it out.

4. Cool the bread – Let the garlic buttered toast cool completely. This step is crucial for getting that perfect texture when you add your toppings.

5. Mix the ricotta – In a bowl, mix together the ricotta cheese with a pinch of salt and pepper. This will be the creamy, savory layer that pairs perfectly with the garlicky toast and fresh tomatoes.

6. Assemble the toast – Spread a dollop of the ricotta mixture onto each slice of cooled garlic bread. Don’t be shy; the more the merrier.

7. Top with tomatoes and basil – Lay the thick slices of tomato on top of the ricotta, then finish it off with a sprinkle of freshly chopped basil. This is where you let the freshness shine through.

8. Serve and enjoy – Serve your Garlic Tomato Toast immediately and watch it disappear. Whether it’s a quick lunch, a light dinner, or the perfect appetizer, this toast is everything you need and more. Grab a slice, savor the flavor, and enjoy the best toast of your life.

And there you have it: Garlic Tomato Toast that’s so delicious, it might just steal the show at your next gathering. Dive in, enjoy the buttery garlic goodness, and remember—sharing is caring, but it’s totally okay to keep a slice or two for yourself!
