Whipped Ricotta Toast with Roasted Tomatoes

Whipped ricotta is so decadent yet so simple to make. It’s delicious on a thick slice of toasted bread. I add roasted garlic, salt, and pepper to the ricotta and then mix it all up in my food processor. It is the best whipped ricotta. I then spread a thick layer on a slice of baguette and top it with roasted tomatoes, shallots, and basil. For some other easy toast ideas, try my Hummus Avocado Toast and Avocado Crab Toast.

Toast isn’t just for breakfast! This tomato ricotta toast would be excellent for a light lunch or as a side dish with a salad. It could also be served as a hearty appetizer.

Whipped Ricotta Toast Ingredients

Let’s break down all the components for this ricotta tomato toast recipe.

Ricotta: I use part-skim ricotta whipped in the food processor. I season it with the roasted garlic, salt, and pepper. Garlic: Roasting the garlic makes all the difference in this recipe. It’s so good! Start by cutting the top of the head off the whole thing of garlic, drizzle with olive oil, and wrap in foil. Then cook in a 400-degree oven for 45 minutes. Tomatoes: By now, you know how much I love summer tomatoes, especially grape tomatoes. Roasting them in the oven really brings out their sweetness. Shallots: Shallots are great because they are more subtle and less overpowering than yellow or red onions. Basil: Is there a more classic flavor combo than tomatoes and basil? Fresh basil is the perfect addition to any summer dish. Bread: Choose a nice crusty bread. I initially tested this recipe using a slice of Dave’s Killer whole grain bread to make it “healthier,” but it wasn’t thick or hearty enough to hold the toppings. The French baguette held up much better.

Whipped Ricotta Toast Variations:

Swap the baguette for sourdough. Use cherry tomatoes instead of grape tomatoes. Sub fresh rosemary or oregano for basil. Add red pepper flakes for some heat.
