Ingredients

  • 1/4 cup whole milk ricotta cheese
  • 2 teaspoons finely chopped fresh chives
  • 2 teaspoons finely chopped fresh mint
  • 1 teaspoon finely chopped fresh tarragon
  • 1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
  • 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • 4 teaspoons finely chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley, divided
  • 8 (1-ounce) slices country-style bread
  • 1 garlic clove, halved
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons extravirgin olive oil
  • 1 large ripe tomato, cut into 8 (1/4-inch-thick) slices (about 8 ounces)
  • 1/8 teaspoon salt

Method

  • Prepare grill.
  • Combine first 6 ingredients; stir in 1 tablespoon parsley.
  • Place bread slices on grill rack; grill 1 minute on each side or until lightly browned. Rub one side of each bread slice with cut sides of garlic. Discard garlic. Brush oil evenly over garlic-rubbed sides of bread slices. Spread 1 1/2 teaspoons ricotta mixture over each bread slice; top each serving with 1 tomato slice. Sprinkle salt and remaining 1 teaspoon parsley evenly over the tomatoes. Serve immediately.
