Ingredients

1 pint cherry or grape tomatoes, halved
1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
1 tablespoon honey
1 tablespoon fresh basil, chopped
1 clove garlic, minced
½ teaspoon salt
⅛ teaspoon black pepper
1 baguette, cut into 12 to 16 slices about a ½ inch thick
4 ounces ricotta cheese

For topping:

½ tablespoon honey
4 basil leaves, thinly sliced

Instructions

Preheat oven to 300 degrees. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
In a large bowl, toss the tomatoes with the oil, honey, basil, garlic, salt and pepper. Spread mixture out onto the prepared baking sheet and roast for 60 to 80 minutes until tomatoes are shriveled and slightly brown. Keep a close eye on them so they don’t burn.
Remove tomatoes from oven and allow to cool about 5 minutes, then transfer to a bowl and discard parchment paper.
Preheat the broiler and arrange baguette slices on the baking sheet. Broil for about 30 seconds to 1 minute on each side, or until golden brown and toasted.
Spread about 1 teaspoon ricotta over each toasted baguette slice, then top with a spoonful of the roasted tomato mixture. Drizzle bruschetta with additional honey and sprinkle with fresh basil before serving.
