Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 Baguette
- 2 Fresh peaches
- 250 grams Ricotta cheese
- 2 tablespoons Honey
- 6 Fresh basil leaves
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Slice the baguette into 12 even slices, about 1/2 inch thick.
Lay the slices on a baking sheet and brush each side lightly with olive oil.
Toast the bread in the oven for 8-10 minutes, or until golden and crisp. Remove and let cool slightly.
Meanwhile, wash the peaches and cut them into thin slices, discarding the pit.
In a medium-sized bowl, mix the ricotta cheese with the salt and black pepper until smooth.
Spread about 1 tablespoon of seasoned ricotta onto each toasted baguette slice.
Top each with 2-3 peach slices, arranging them artfully.
Drizzle honey evenly over the peaches on each slice.
Garnish each piece with a fresh basil leaf for a pop of flavor and color.
Serve immediately and enjoy!
