But summer tomatoes are too gorgeous to hide, so we tucked crusty cubes of bread underneath them instead.
Plus, the bread soaks up all the juicy tomato goodness.
If you’re able to’t find marjoram, fresh basil or oregano makes a good substitute.
Just a few minutes under the broiler gives these ricotta-and-basil-filled nests a light golden top.
A hot pepper in the topping adds a bit of heat, but opt for sweet if you prefer.
