This Ricotta Tomato Toast is one of the best ways to enjoy summer tomatoes! Just a few good quality ingredients help these summer flavors shine.

Sometimes a recipe is so simple, it's barely even a recipe- that's the case here! Only a couple ingredients, no measurements, just simple deliciousness.

For a recipe so simple, I cannot stress the importance of quality ingredients enough! You're going to want ripe, heirloom tomatoes (the ones shown in the picture are Brandywine tomatoes- they have a pink/coral color!), fresh bread, good olive oil, and some flaky sea salt. The salt and oil will bring out the best flavor of the tomatoes. All that combined with creamy ricotta- perfection!

Recipe FAQ

What kind of ricotta should I use?

I prefer whole milk ricotta to part skim because it's creamier, but you should choose whichever kind you like best!

What kind of bread works best?

I am partial to a good, hearty sourdough. If sourdough is not your thing, try ciabatta or any crusty Italian bread from the bakery section of your grocery store.

Does this toast have to be made in the summer?

Technically no, but it's definitely best in the summer. Out of season tomatoes just don't compare to delicious summer heirloom tomatoes and there's nothing better than fresh basil in the summer!
