Ingredients:
- 1 loaf of french bread cut into 1/4" - 1/2" thick slices
- Extra virgin olive oil (you'll need about 3/4 cup)
- 2 cloves of garlic
- Red grapes
- Kosher salt
- Fresh thyme
- 10 oz. ricotta cheese
Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
To make the olive oil toasts, paint olive oil on both sides of each slice of bread using a pastry brush. If you lose your patience with this technique, as I often do, pour some olive oil on a small plate and lightly dip each side of the bread in the olive oil. Be careful not to saturate the bread if you use this technique.
Bake the bread on a sheet pan until it starts to turn golden on the bottom, about 8-10 minutes. Flip the bread and cook for an additional 5 minutes until golden brown.
Remove the bread from the oven. When the bread is cool enough to handle, rub the top of each slice with a halved garlic clove.
Turn the oven temperature up to 450 degrees.
Spread grapes on a sheet pan and drizzle with olive oil, salt, and thyme. Toss the grapes with your hands to ensure that they are fully coated. Cook for 7 - 9 minutes, until grapes soften and just begin to burst. The smell will be wonderful!
To assemble, spread ricotta on each toast and sprinkle with roasted grapes.
