Step-by-Step Instructions
1
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Slice the baguette into 1-inch thick slices and place on a baking sheet. Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until lightly toasted.

While the bread is baking, prepare the ricotta cheese mixture. In a medium bowl, combine the ricotta cheese, minced garlic, and chopped fresh basil. Mix well until all the ingredients are fully incorporated.
3
Once the bread is ready, remove it from the oven and let it cool for a minute or two. Spread a generous amount of the ricotta cheese mixture on each slice of bread.
4
Top each slice of bread with a halved fresh tomato. Drizzle with a bit more olive oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper to taste.
