Ingredients

2 slices of artisan bread (sourdough or whole grain)

1 cup fresh ricotta cheese

2 ripe peaches, sliced

2 tablespoons honey (preferably local)

1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice

1 tablespoon fresh mint leaves, chopped (optional)

Pinch of sea salt

Freshly cracked black pepper (optional)

Instructions

Toast the Bread: Begin by toasting the slices of artisan bread in a toaster or on a grill until they are golden brown and crispy. This will provide a sturdy base for your toppings.

Prepare the Ricotta Mixture: In a medium bowl, combine the ricotta cheese, lemon juice, and a pinch of sea salt. Mix until smooth and creamy. The lemon juice will add a light zing that complements the sweetness of the peaches.

Slice the Peaches: Wash the peaches thoroughly. Cut them in half, remove the pit, and slice them into thin wedges. If you prefer, you can also grill the peach slices for a couple of minutes to enhance their sweetness and add a smoky flavor.

Assemble the Toast: Spread a generous layer of the ricotta mixture over each slice of toasted bread. Top with the sliced peaches, arranging them beautifully for presentation.

Drizzle with Honey: Drizzle the honey over the peach-topped toast, ensuring you get a little on each slice for that delightful sweetness.

Garnish: If desired, sprinkle with freshly chopped mint leaves and add a touch of black pepper for a surprising flavor contrast.

Serve: Cut the toast in half or serve as is. Enjoy your delicious Peach Honey Ricotta Toast while it’s fresh!
