This is a very elegant appetizer and perfect for serving to guests with some wine! It’s not too much work to make and relatively healthy as well but looks and tastes amazing!

Ingredients

  • 1 baguette or any crusty bread (cut into 12 pieces)

  • 1 cup ricotta cheese 

  • ½ cup pesto

  • 2 cup cherry tomatoes 

  • Salt and pepper 

  • Olive oil

Directions

  • Preheat the oven to 375F.
  • Take a big oven tray, and line with parchment paper.
  • Cut the cherry tomatoes in half.
  • Spread the tomatoes in the tray (face up to keep the liquid), and add oil, salt, and pepper. Make sure it is not too crowded.
  • Bake for about 20 minutes or until roasted.
  • Slice the bread and spread oil on it, and bake (at 375) for 10 minutes or until it looks brown.
  • Take a piece, and spread ricotta cheese, then pesto on top (both should be visible like in the picture).
  • Finally, add roasted tomatoes. Repeat with all others.
  • Serve!

Notes

  • Note: This is a rough estimate of the ingredients – what I normally do is cut however many pieces of bread I need and then apply ricotta and pesto straight out of the box rather than measuring it out. For the tomatoes, figure out how many pieces you want to put on each piece of bread and then just multiply – for example if I’m making 12 pieces of bread and want to put 3 halves on each piece, I roast 36 halves or 18 tomatoes.
