Meanwhile, halve the bread horizontally. Peel 1 clove of garlic; using a zester, finely grate into a paste (or use the small side of a box grater). Place in a bowl. Add 2 tablespoons of olive oil and season with salt and pepper; stir to combine. Pick the rosemary leaves off the stems; roughly chop  the leaves. Season the ricotta with salt and pepper; stir to combine. Grate the fontina on the large side of a box grater.
