Ingredients
  

4 ripe peaches, diced

1 cup ricotta cheese

1 tablespoon honey (plus extra for drizzling)

1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 teaspoon fresh mint, chopped (plus extra for garnish)

1 French baguette, sliced into ½-inch thick pieces

2 tablespoons olive oil

Sea salt and freshly cracked black pepper, to taste

Instructions
 

Prepare the Peach Topping: In a medium mixing bowl, combine the diced peaches with honey, fresh lemon juice, vanilla extract, and chopped mint. Gently toss all the ingredients together until well blended. Let the mixture rest for about 10 minutes at room temperature to allow the flavors to meld beautifully, enhancing the overall taste.

    Toast the Baguette Slices: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Arrange the baguette slices in a single layer on a baking sheet. Using a brush, lightly coat each slice with olive oil and sprinkle a pinch of sea salt over them. Bake in the preheated oven for 6-8 minutes or until the slices are golden brown and crisp to the touch. Keep an eye on them to avoid burning.

      Mix the Ricotta: In a separate bowl, use a whisk to mix the ricotta cheese with a pinch of salt and freshly cracked black pepper until it’s creamy and smooth. This mixture will create a deliciously rich base for your bruschetta.

        Assemble the Bruschetta: Once the baguette slices are nicely toasted, take them out of the oven. Spread a generous layer of the ricotta mixture on each slice, ensuring even coverage. Top each slice with a spoonful of the peach topping, distributing it evenly among the bruschetta.

          Finish and Serve: Drizzle a touch of honey over each assembled bruschetta for an added sweetness. Garnish with additional fresh mint leaves for a pop of color and flavor. Serve immediately for a delightful and refreshing summer appetizer that’s sure to impress!
