Step 1
Start by cooking the bacon in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Turn it every now and then until it’s nicely browned and crispy, which should take about 10 minutes. Once it’s done, drain the bacon on some paper towels, let it cool a bit, then crumble it into bite-sized pieces and set aside.

Step 2
Next, mix together the cherry tomatoes, Parmesan, chopped basil, and a pinch of salt and pepper in a small bowl.

Step 3
Heat up a cast iron grill pan over medium-high heat. Brush both sides of your bread slices with olive oil, then grill them until you see nice grill marks and the bread is toasted—about 2 to 3 minutes on each side.

Step 4
Spread a generous layer of ricotta on the warm, toasted bread. Spoon the tomato mixture on top, then sprinkle with the crumbled bacon. Cut each piece in half and enjoy right away!

How to serve
Serve warm with a drizzle of olive oil and a sprinkle of fresh herbs like basil or chives. Pair it with a simple green salad or a cup of your favorite coffee for a complete meal.
Storage & leftovers
Store any leftover ricotta separately in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days. It’s best to enjoy the toast fresh, as the bread can become soggy if stored with toppings.
