Preheat the oven to 300º.

Lay the tomato slices out on a parchment (or silpat) covered baking sheet. Season the tomatoes with salt, pepper, sugar, and drizzle with the olive oil. Bake the tomatoes for 1 ½ - 2 hours (rotating the pan every 30 minutes), or until the tomatoes are mostly dry and have some golden edges.
-
Meanwhile, place the ricotta, oil, oregano, salt, and pepper in a mini food processor and whip the ricotta until everything is well combined and very smooth.
-
Toast your bread however you like – toaster, grill, or oven until golden brown around the edges. Rub the cut sides of the garlic over each warm slice.
-
Spread each piece of toast with the ricotta, top with plenty of tomatoes and basil. Finish things off with a sprinkle of salt and pepper and a nice drizzle of olive oil. Enjoy!
Tomatoes can be made up to 2 days ahead and kept refrigerated.
