Cheesy Bruschetta

This is super easy and makes a really nice presentation.
This can be done in the oven under the broiler or on a grill and the grill marks really look great.

1 Loaf of your favorite crusty bread, cut the baguette into 1/2 inch thick slices cutting on the diagonal

1 1/2 Cups =(10 oz.) Fresh whole milk Ricotta cheese
1 Tea. Fresh Lemon Zest
Kosher Salt to taste
Freshly cracked Black Pepper to taste
1/2 Cup Extra virgin Olive Oil
2 Cloves of Garlic
2 Mint sprigs finely chopped

In a small bowl combine ricotta,lemon zest,and a good pinch of salt, pepper and the mint reserving some mint to sprinkle on top!

Coat 2 baking sheets with Olive Oil then set the bread slices on top in a single layer. Brush the tops with a little Olive Oil and set aside until you are ready to cook them.

Grill the bread on one side until it is nice a browned or has grill marks turn over and toast the other side. it only takes a matter of minutes.

When the slices are done rub the top side wit a cut piece of garlic.

Spread the ricotta mixture on top of the toasted bread. Sean with a few twists of pepper and the additional mint and drizzle with a tiny amount of olive oil.

Enjoy!
