This vibrant charred bread with ricotta and cherry salsa is a sophisticated vegetarian starter that celebrates the short but sweet British cherry season. The combination of creamy, cool ricotta against the smoky, crisp baguette provides a wonderful foundation for the zesty fruit topping. By macerating the spring onions in lemon juice, you achieve a bright acidity that perfectly balances the sweetness of the cherries and the richness of the cheese.

Ideal for summer garden parties or as an elegant light lunch, this dish is as visually striking as it is delicious. The cherry salsa can be prepared up to six hours in advance and kept in the fridge, making it an excellent choice for stress-free entertaining. Serve these colourful tartines on a large platter for a seasonal sharing appetiser that guests will love.

Ingredients for Charred Bread with Ricotta and Cherry Salsa

3 spring onions, preferably red, white/red and green parts separated, thinly sliced on a steep diagonal
80ml di succo di limone fresco
350g fresh cherries (about 550ml ), pitted, cut into 1/3-inch-thick slivers
120ml olive oil, plus more for brushing
Sale kosher, pepe macinato fresco
1 baguette, sliced in half lengthwise
350g whole-milk fresh ricotta
Sale marino a scaglie

How to make Charred Bread with Ricotta and Cherry Salsa

Toss white/red parts of spring onions and lemon juice in a medium bowl to coat and let sit 10 minutes.

Add spring onion greens, cherries, and 120ml oil to bowl and toss gently again to incorporate; season cherry salsa with kosher salt and pepper.

Prepare a grill for medium-low heat. Brush cut sides of baguette with oil. Grill, cut sides down, until bread is toasted and golden brown, about 3 minutes.

Let toasts cool for a minute, then spread generous amounts of ricotta over both pieces. Sprinkle lightly with sea salt. Cut each half on a diagonal into 6 pieces. Arrange on a platter and, using a slotted spoon, top with cherry salsa.

Cherry salsa can be made 6 hours ahead. Cover and chill.
