Creamy Ricotta & Tomato Bruschetta

Today I'm sharing one of my most favourite appetizers 😍

This classic dish is perfect for a Valentine's Day appetizer (or really any time of year!) and is so simple to whip up! The creamy ricotta layer takes this dish to the next level. I love serving this appetizer on a fresh baguette or crusty multigrain bread for extra crunch. I hope you enjoy this delicious dish!
