  1. In a small bowl, using a spoon or spatula, stir together the ricotta cheese, green onions, Italian seasoning, and pepper.
  2. Spread 1/4 cup of the ricotta mixture over each slice of toast. Top with the tomato slices.

Tip: Prefer to turn this toast into a hot open-face sandwich for lunch? Simply place the toast on a baking sheet lined with aluminum foil and pop it under the broiler for 1 to 2 minutes, or until the ricotta cheese is melted.
