There are so many good things about the summer and fresh in-season tomatoes are one of them! My Roasted Tomato Bruschetta with Ricotta on Sourdough is one of my favourite appetizers to make during the summer season. Roasting tomatoes is a great way to bring out more flavour, making this Bruschetta even more delicious.

Roasting Tomatoes vs. Using Fresh Tomatoes

If you know me, you KNOW I love cherry tomatoes of all kinds! My favourite tomato that I grow every year is called Black Cherry. They are so sweet and delicious - perfect for this recipe! Of course, you can use normal red cherry tomatoes, I used a multi-colour pint of tomatoes in this recipe.

When you roast the tomatoes you instantly bump up the flavour profile of your bruschetta. Roasting tomatoes caramelizes the sugars, making it all so delicious!

Assembling the Bruschetta

I find the key to this recipe is rubbing a garlic clove all over each toasted bread slice! Forget chopping up the garlic, when you rub a garlic clove on toasted bread (make sure it's peeled) it just melts into the bread. SO GOOD!

Adding the ricotta cheese is optional, but it's worth the extra step to add that creaminess to the bruschetta.

Classic tomato bruschetta is topped with basil but I am telling you Thyme is THE herb! I am just obsessed with thyme I have to put it on everything.

Let's Make Bruschetta!
