For The Tomatoes:
- Two 10-ounce containers cherry tomatoes
- 4 cloves garlic, (smashed and peeled)
- 2 sprigs fresh basil, (torn)
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
For The Spicy Honey:
- 1/2 cup honey, (such as Chestnut)
- 1 1/2 teaspoons Calabrian chili paste
- 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
For The Bruschetta:
- 1 cup ricotta, (at room temperature)
- 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- 4 to 6 thick slices ciabatta, (or 12-14 baguette slices)
- 6 fresh basil leaves, (chopped)
- For the tomatoes: Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
- Spread the cherry tomatoes, garlic, basil, olive oil and salt on a small rimmed baking sheet and toss well to coat. Roast until the tomatoes have popped and are beginning to brown, 30 to 40 minutes. Allow to cool slightly.
- For the spicy honey: Meanwhile, combine the honey, Calabrian chile, salt and 2 tablespoons water in a small saucepan. Bring to a simmer over medium heat, then let simmer for 5 minutes. Remove from the heat to cool completely.
- For the bruschetta: Heat a grill pan over medium-high heat.
- Whisk together the ricotta, salt and 2 tablespoons olive oil in a bowl. Drizzle the remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil on the bread and grill until golden brown and toasted, about 4 minutes per side. Divide the ricotta among the bread slices. Top with the tomatoes and drizzle with spicy honey. Scatter the basil over the top.
