Ingredients
  

4 slices of rustic sourdough bread

1 cup of fresh ricotta cheese

2 ripe peaches, pitted and thinly sliced

2 tablespoons honey (or maple syrup for a vegan option)

1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice

1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Fresh mint leaves, for garnish

A light sprinkle of sea salt

Instructions
 

Prepare the Ricotta Mixture: In a medium-sized bowl, combine the ricotta cheese, honey (or maple syrup), fresh lemon juice, vanilla extract, and ground cinnamon. Use a fork or a whisk to mix well until the mixture is smooth, creamy, and well incorporated.

    Toast the Bread: Preheat a toaster oven or a grill pan over medium heat. Place the slices of sourdough bread on the pan and toast them until they are golden brown and crispy, approximately 3-4 minutes on each side. If using a conventional oven, preheat to 400°F (200°C) and toast the slices for about 8 minutes or until they reach your desired crispness.

      Assemble the Toasts: Once the bread is toasted, generously spread the ricotta mixture over each slice, ensuring an even layer that extends to the edges for maximum flavor.

        Top with Peaches: Layer the thinly sliced peaches artistically on top of the ricotta-covered bread. Overlap the peach slices slightly for an elegant look.

          Finishing Touches: Drizzle any remaining honey or maple syrup over the peaches for an additional touch of sweetness. Lightly sprinkle sea salt over the top to amplify the sweet and savory profiles.

            Garnish: Add a few fresh mint leaves on top of each toast as a vibrant garnish, providing a refreshing aroma and color contrast.

              Serve: Indulge in your delightful Sun-Kissed Peach Ricotta Toast immediately, perfect as a refreshing breakfast or a light snack!
