Method
 

  1. 1. To prepare the tomatoes, combine the cherry tomatoes, olive oil, balsamic vinegar, fresh basil, fresh thyme, grated garlic, and a pinch of kosher salt and black pepper in a bowl. Let sit for 10-15 minutes or up to overnight in the fridge.
  2. 2. For the honey mixture, combine the honey and lemon juice in a jar. Add some salt and black pepper to taste.
  3. 3. Whip the ricotta in a food processor until smooth. Season with salt and store in the fridge for up to three days.
  4. 4. Preheat your grill to high heat or your oven to 400°F. Drizzle olive oil on the sourdough bread slices and season with salt.
  5. 5. Grill the bread for 2-3 minutes per side until toasted. Remove from the grill.
  6. 6. Spread the whipped ricotta over the grilled bread and top with the marinated tomatoes. Drizzle with the lemon-thyme honey.
  7. 7. Optional: Add fresh berries on top for a sweet finish, and serve immediately.

Notes

Store marinated tomatoes in an airtight container for up to 3 days. The whipped ricotta can also be kept fresh for the same duration.
