I grew up eating friselle at my Aunt Catherine’s house. She loved the dense, somewhat stale rings of twice-baked bread. I’ve done her recipe justice with this version. Serve this at your next summer soiree and people will finally invite you back.

Directions
Special equipment:
a pastry bag fitted with a star tip
For the vinaigrette: In a medium bowl, whisk together the vinegar, mustard, parsley, oregano, thyme and garlic. While whisking, slowly add the olive oil. Season with salt and pepper.
For the friselle salad: Rub the friselle with the raw garlic, then spoon the vinaigrette directly onto the surface. Let it sit for about 10 minutes to allow the dressing to soak in.
In a large bowl, add the halved cherry tomatoes, Asiago, fresh basil, olives and about 1/2 cup vinaigrette. Season to taste with salt and pepper and toss everything to combine. Top the friselle with the tomato mixture.
For the whipped honey ricotta: Add the ricotta, honey and crushed red chiles to a bowl. Using a whisk, whip until very smooth. Season to taste with salt and place in a pastry bag fitted with a star tip.
Pipe the whipped ricotta on top of the tomato-covered friselle. Serve with a large fork or spoon to break up the friselle.
