Charred Bread with Ricotta and Cherry Salsa

Ingredients
- 3 spring onions, preferably red, white/red and green parts separated, thinly sliced on a steep diagonal
- 5 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
- 12 ounces fresh cherries (about 2 1/4 cups), pitted, cut into 1/3-inch-thick slivers
- 1/2 cup olive oil, plus more for brushing
- Kosher salt, freshly ground pepper
- 1 baguette, sliced in half lengthwise
- 12 ounces whole-milk fresh ricotta
- Flaky sea salt
Instructions
- 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 1/2 cup 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.
