Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Make the bruschette: Preheat the oven to 450 degrees. Brush the olive oil evenly over both sides of each slice of bread. Arrange the slices on a baking sheet and toast for 3 to 5 minutes, until golden brown. Flip and toast for 3 minutes. Rub each toasted slice with the cut side of the garlic.

  2. Step 2

    Taste the ricotta. If it seems bland, mix in a pinch of salt. Divide the ricotta evenly among the bruschette, then top with spoonfuls of peperonata. Serve immediately.
