Ricotta tomato toast

In late summer, there’s always an abundance of tomatoes and I love using them in bruschetta or simply on a piece of toast. If you can find freshly made ricotta, please buy it. You will taste such a difference from store bought. Pairing the tomatoes with the creamy ricotta is the perfect marriage. Top it all off with good quality olive oil and balsamic. Italian food is very easy to make but it’s important that you use high quality ingredients.
