Ingredients
  

2 medium ripe peaches, thinly sliced

1 cup fresh ricotta cheese

2 tablespoons honey (plus extra for drizzling)

1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

4 slices of your favorite artisanal bread (sourdough or whole grain recommended)

2 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened

A pinch of flaky sea salt

Fresh mint leaves for garnish (optional)

Crushed pistachios or walnuts for added crunch (optional)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Ricotta Spread: In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the fresh ricotta cheese, 2 tablespoons of honey, vanilla extract, and a pinch of flaky sea salt. Using a whisk or spatula, mix the ingredients until the mixture is smooth and creamy. Set aside to allow the flavors to meld.

    Toast the Bread: Heat a skillet over medium heat or preheat your oven's broiler to high. Generously spread softened butter on one side of each slice of bread. If using the skillet, place the slices buttered side down and toast until they are golden brown and crispy, approximately 2-3 minutes. Alternatively, if using the broiler, place the buttered slices on a baking sheet and broil for about 2 minutes, watching closely to avoid burning.

      Assemble the Toast: Once your bread is perfectly toasted, remove it from the heat source. Take the ricotta mixture and spread a generous layer over each toasted slice, ensuring an even coverage.

        Add the Peaches: Gently lay the thin peach slices over the ricotta on each piece of toast. Arrange them attractively for a visually appealing presentation.

          Drizzle with Honey: To enhance the sweetness, drizzle some additional honey over the arranged peach slices, allowing it to seep into the ricotta and bread.

            Garnish (optional): For a delightful crunch and a burst of flavor, sprinkle crushed pistachios or walnuts on top of the toast. Optionally, you can add fresh mint leaves for an aromatic touch.

              Serve: Serve the toast immediately for the best experience, whether it be for a delicious brunch treat or a sweet snack to satisfy your cravings!
