- 1 slice crusty bread (sourdough or another type)
- 1 cup (240 ml) Misha’s new vegan ricotta

- 1 handful (approximately ½ cup or 25 grams) arugula
Seasonings and Oil:

Instructions
- Prepare the bread slice by transforming it into a crisp, golden-brown canvas through precise toasting, ensuring a sturdy foundation for the upcoming layers of flavor.
- Activate a small skillet with a drizzle of olive oil, introducing cherry tomatoes to create a vibrant, blistered landscape. Allow the tomatoes to caramelize and soften, releasing their natural sweetness while developing a delicate char.
- Season the roasted tomatoes with a delicate sprinkle of salt, enhancing their inherent brightness and creating a harmonious flavor profile.
- Lavishly spread the vegan ricotta across the toasted bread, creating a creamy, luxurious base that will serve as a smooth backdrop for the subsequent ingredients.
- Carefully arrange the roasted cherry tomatoes atop the ricotta, strategically positioning them to maximize visual appeal and flavor distribution.
- Crown the toast with a verdant layer of fresh arugula, introducing a peppery, crisp element that will provide textural contrast and a herbaceous note.
