Ingredients
Instructions
1. Heat a large skillet or a griddle over medium heat. Drizzle one side of each sourdough slice with a little olive oil. Place the bread oil-side down in the hot pan.
2. Cook for 2-3 minutes per side, or until the bread is golden brown and crispy. If you prefer, you can also use a toaster or a toaster oven for this step, though pan-frying adds a lovely savory crust.
3. While the bread is toasting, in a small bowl, gently toss the halved or quartered cherry tomatoes with sea salt and freshly ground black pepper. This simple seasoning enhances their natural sweetness.
4. Once the sourdough slices are perfectly toasted, spread an even layer of fresh ricotta cheese over each warm slice. The warmth of the toast will slightly soften the ricotta, making it even creamier.
5. Arrange the seasoned cherry tomatoes generously over the ricotta on each slice of toast.
6. Drizzle a little extra virgin olive oil over the tomatoes and ricotta. If using, sprinkle with sesame seeds and garnish with fresh basil leaves for a final flourish of flavor and color.
7. Enjoy your Sourdough Breakfast Toast while it’s still warm and the bread is crisp.
