In a bowl, toss together the chopped fresh strawberries, chopped basil leaves, chopped shallots, and Extra Virgin Olive Oil (EVOO).

Season the mixture to enhance the flavors.

In another bowl, use an electric mixer to beat the fresh ricotta until fluffy, which should take 2 to 3 minutes.

Spread the whipped ricotta onto the grilled or toasted ciabatta slices.

Sprinkle a touch of flaky sea salt over the ricotta-covered toasts.

Top each toast with the prepared strawberry mixture.
