Toasts with ricotta and chocolate

Ingredients:

• 1 cup fresh ricotta
• 2 tablespoons of sugar
• 1/4 tsp ground cinnamon
• 1/4 tsp vanilla extract
• 4 slices of country bread, 1 cm thick.
• 1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
• 45 g dark chocolate (70% cocoa)

Preparation:

1. In a medium bowl, combine the ricotta, sugar, cinnamon, and vanilla extract with a rubber spatula. Set aside or refrigerate until ready to use.
2. Preheat a grill pan over medium-high heat. Brush both sides of the bread slices with olive oil. Toast the bread until golden brown, about 2 minutes per side. Spoon a generous dollop of ricotta cheese onto each slice and spread evenly. Grate chocolate over the bread, completely coating each slice. Serve with a fork and knife.
