Time 1h15m

Yield 4 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

Ingredients

Two 10-ounce containers cherry tomatoes
4 cloves garlic, smashed and peeled
2 sprigs fresh basil, torn
1/4 cup olive oil
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 cup honey
1 1/2 teaspoons Calabrian chile paste
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
1 cup ricotta, at room temperature
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 cup olive oil
4 to 6 thick slices ciabatta
6 fresh basil leaves, chopped

Steps:

For the tomatoes: Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
Spread the cherry tomatoes, garlic, basil, olive oil and salt on a small rimmed baking sheet and toss well to coat. Roast until the tomatoes have popped and are beginning to brown, 30 to 40 minutes. Allow to cool slightly.
For the spicy honey: Meanwhile, combine the honey, Calabrian chile, salt and 2 tablespoons water in a small saucepan. Bring to a simmer over medium heat, then let simmer for 5 minutes. Remove from the heat to cool completely.
For the bruschetta: Heat a grill pan over medium-high heat.
Whisk together the ricotta, salt and 2 tablespoons olive oil in a bowl. Drizzle the remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil on the bread and grill until golden brown and toasted, about 4 minutes per side. Divide the ricotta among the bread slices. Top with the tomatoes and drizzle with spicy honey. Scatter the basil over the top.

TOMATO BRUSCHETTA

Tomato Bruschetta image

This classic recipe is for lazy summer days that beg for moving slowly and snacking often. Chop tomatoes, place them in a colander, shower them with salt, then make yourself a drink or go for a swim. The longer they drain, the better they'll be. This bruschetta gets better as it sits for a bit, so make it up to an hour ahead. While most bruschetta recipes have you rub a raw garlic clove on toasted bread, this one calls for making a quick infused oil that's stirred into the tomatoes and basil, providing a more delicate garlicky note. Pile it all on toasted bread, and enjoy bite after juicy bite.

Ingredients

1 pound plum tomatoes (about 4 to 5 large), or another variety of ripe tomatoes
1 teaspoon kosher salt
5 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
2 large garlic cloves, minced
8 large basil leaves
Grilled or toasted crusty bread, for serving

Steps:

Core and chop the tomatoes, then transfer to a colander over a bowl or in the sink. Add the salt and gently stir. Let drain for up to 2 hours.
Meanwhile, make the garlic oil: In a small saucepan, warm the olive oil and garlic over low heat until the garlic is softened and fragrant, about 5 minutes, making sure the garlic doesn't brown. Set aside to cool.
Roll the basil leaves up and thinly slice crosswise.
When the oil is cool and the tomatoes are well drained, combine the tomatoes, garlic oil and basil in a medium bowl. Season with additional salt, to taste. Spoon over toasted bread.
