Char-grilled fresh crusty bread topped with lemony ricotta and sticky slow-roasted baby tomatoes. A beautifully tasty little snack!

Instructions
- Pre-heat the oven to 300F/150C and line a baking tray with baking paper. Put the tomatoes, oil, garlic & fennel in a bowl and toss to combine, then tip out onto the baking tray and bake for 1 hour.
- Meanwhile, mix the lemon zest into the ricotta. After the tomatoes are done (they should be golden and sticky), set them aside to cool a little while you char-grill the bread on both sides on a hot griddle pan.
- Spread the toasts with the lemony ricotta, spoon over the tomatoes and juices (pour and scrape the juices off the baking tray and onto the toasts) and scatter each with a few of the basil leaves. Lastly, grind over plenty of salt and a little pepper, drizzle over a little more olive oil and serve. Mmmm!
Notes
- Barely adapted from ‘slow-roast confit tomato and ricotta crostini’ from UK Delicious magagine (June 2014 edition). Thank you for the inspiration!
- You could make this with a different soft cheese such as goat’s cheese if you like. Or you could spread your toasts with a good quality pesto instead of cheese if you want to go dairy-free or vegan.
