Ingredients
  

1 pint cherry tomatoes, halved

2 tablespoons olive oil

Salt and freshly cracked pepper, to taste

1 teaspoon dried oregano

1 cup ricotta cheese

2 tablespoons honey

1 tablespoon lemon juice

4 slices of rustic bread (such as sourdough or ciabatta)

Fresh basil leaves, for garnish

Balsamic glaze (optional, for drizzling)

Instructions
 

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

    In a bowl, toss the halved cherry tomatoes with olive oil, salt, pepper, and dried oregano until well coated.

      Spread the seasoned tomatoes on a parchment-lined baking sheet in a single layer and roast in the oven for 20-25 minutes, until they are blistered and caramelized.

        While the tomatoes are roasting, prepare the whipped ricotta. In a mixing bowl, combine the ricotta cheese, honey, lemon juice, and a pinch of salt. Using a handheld mixer or a whisk, whip until smooth and creamy (about 2-3 minutes). Adjust sweetness with more honey if desired.

          Toast the slices of rustic bread until they are golden and crispy, either in the oven or on a grill.

            Once the tomatoes are done roasting, remove them from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes.

              To assemble, spread a generous amount of whipped ricotta on each slice of toasted bread. Top with the roasted tomatoes, ensuring they are evenly distributed.

                Garnish each toast with fresh basil leaves and drizzle with balsamic glaze if using.
