Direction
1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
2. In a mixing bowl, combine the ricotta cheese, crushed tomatoes, minced garlic, olive oil, Italian seasoning, and salt and pepper. Mix well until all ingredients are fully incorporated.
3. In a separate bowl, mix together some olive oil and dried basil.
4. Lay out the baguette slices on a baking sheet and brush them with the olive oil and dried basil mixture.
5. Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 8-10 minutes, or until the baguette slices are lightly toasted.
6. While the baguette slices are toasting, heat a pan over medium heat and add a tablespoon of olive oil.
7. Once the pan is hot, add the ricotta dip mixture and cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally.
8. Once the ricotta dip is warm and slightly bubbly, remove it from the heat and transfer it to a serving dish.
9. Take the toasted baguette slices out of the oven and let them cool for a minute or two.
10. Serve the ricotta dip with the toasted baguette slices and enjoy! You can also top the dip with some additional crushed tomatoes and a sprinkle of dried basil for extra flavor.
