1. If using supermarket ricotta, line a small colander or mesh sieve with several layers of paper towels. 2. Spread the cheese over the towels and let drain until thickened and creamy, about 1 hour. 3. Remove cheese from the colander and discard the paper towels; homestyle ricotta does not need to be drained. 4. Combine the ricotta, herbs, salt and pepper to taste in a bowl; set aside. 5. Preheat the oven to 400°. 6. Place the bread slices on a baking sheet; bake, turning the slices once, until they are lightly browned and crisp, 8-10 minutes. 7. Place the toasted bread slices on a large platter. 8. Spread a scant 2 teaspoons of the cheese mixture over each slice; serve immediately. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
