Cherry Tomato & Ricotta Bruschetta Recipe by Jamie Oliver
Ingredients
- 1 loaf of crusty bread (such as ciabatta or a baguette)
- 1 garlic clove, peeled and halved
- Extra-virgin olive oil (for drizzling)
- 200g (about 1 cup) ricotta cheese
- 250g (about 2 cups) cherry tomatoes, halved
- A handful of fresh basil leaves, roughly torn
- Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
Instructions
Toast the Bread
- Heat your oven to 200°C/400°F (or grill them on the hob). Cut your bread, making pieces from 1-2 cm thick. Place them on a baking sheet and drizzle lightly with olive oil. Bake in the oven for 8-10 minutes or until golden and slightly crisp. Or, grilled a few minutes on each side.
Rub with Garlic
- For the actual garlic bread, toast some pieces of bread, and, once they are toasted, gently rub the cut side of your garlic clove over the surface of each piece of bread. This adds a subtle, fragrant note without overshadowing the other flavors.
