Summer Tomato Toast with Ricotta and Bacon

I picked up some great tomatoes from the farmer's market this afternoon, with every intention of making BLTs tonight. Lo and behold, the lettuce I had in the fridge had wilted beyond usability, so I improvised with these toasts. Recipe serves 2, or one if you are hungry. Ingredients 4 slices sourdough bread 4 thick cut slices bacon (or 8 thin sliced) 1 large tomato (or two small tomatoes) 1/2 cup ricotta cheese 1 tablespoon olive oil salt and pepper Directions Cook the bacon using your favorite method. I lay all of the slices on a sheet pan and bake for 15 minutes at 400. If using thinner slices, try 10 minutes at 375. Drain on a paper-towel lined plate, then chop into small pieces. Toast the bread to your liking while the bacon is cooking. Set aside. In a small bowl, combine the ricotta, olive oil, and a pinch of salt and pepper - stir to combine. Dice the tomato into large pieces. Assemble the toasts - layer the ricotta mixture over the sourdough, top with the tomato sprinkling with salt and pepper to taste. Add the bacon last, nestling it in between the tomato pieces. https://i.redd.it/mplu36oc0df11.jpg submitted by /u/kek1011 [link] [comments]
