Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 loaf baguette
- 3 medium fresh peaches
- 1 cup ricotta cheese
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
- 6 leaves fresh basil leaves
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 teaspoons balsamic glaze
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Slice the baguette into 12 equal slices, about 1/2 inch thick each.
Brush each slice of bread lightly with olive oil on both sides and place them on a baking sheet.
Toast in the preheated oven for 6-8 minutes, or until the slices are golden and crisp. Remove and set aside.
While the bread is toasting, wash and dice the peaches into small bite-sized pieces.
In a small bowl, mix the diced peaches with a pinch of salt, black pepper, and 1 tablespoon of honey. Set aside to marinate for a few minutes.
Spread about 1 tablespoon of ricotta cheese onto each toasted baguette slice.
Top the ricotta with a spoonful of the peach mixture, ensuring each slice has an even layer of fruit.
Drizzle the remaining honey and balsamic glaze over the prepared bruschetta.
Tear the fresh basil leaves into smaller pieces and sprinkle them over the top for a fragrant garnish.
Serve immediately and enjoy the fresh, fruity, and savory flavors of this delightful appetizer.
