In a large bowl, combine the cherry tomatoes (cut into quarters), minced garlic, extra virgin olive oil, balsamic vinegar, kosher salt, black pepper, and crushed red pepper flakes (to taste). Stir to mix, then use a whisk or other large tool to smash and soften the tomatoes. Allow the mixture to sit and marinate for at least 30 minutes. Lay down the toast. Using a spoon, press down alternating portions of ricotta cheese and the tomato mixture in a scalloped pattern until the whole toast is filled. Garnish with a drizzle of balsamic glaze and chopped fresh basil. Enjoy!
