Ingredients
  

1 French baguette, sliced into 1/2-inch thick pieces

1 cup fresh ricotta cheese

2 ripe peaches, thinly sliced

2 tablespoons honey, plus extra for drizzling

1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil

1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice

1/4 teaspoon sea salt

Fresh basil leaves for garnish

Cracked black pepper, to taste

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 400°F (200°C) to create the perfect toasty base for your bruschetta.

    Toast the Baguette: Lay the baguette slices out in a single layer on a baking sheet. Drizzle each slice with olive oil, ensuring they are lightly coated, and sprinkle with a dash of sea salt. Place the baking sheet in the oven and toast for 8-10 minutes, or until the baguette slices turn golden brown and crispy. Keep a close watch on them to avoid burning!

      Prepare the Ricotta Mixture: In a mixing bowl, combine the fresh ricotta cheese, honey, lemon juice, and a pinch of sea salt. Use a whisk or spatula to mix thoroughly until the ingredients are well combined and the mixture is smooth and creamy.

        Assemble the Bruschetta: Once your baguette slices are out of the oven and ready, take a generous spoonful of the ricotta mixture and spread it evenly over each toasted slice. Layer the thin peach slices on top of the ricotta for a beautiful presentation.

          Garnish: For an extra touch of sweetness and flavor, drizzle a little more honey over the top of each bruschetta, followed by a sprinkle of cracked black pepper. Finish off with a few fresh basil leaves to add a vibrant pop of color and aromatic freshness.

            Serve: Arrange the assembled bruschetta on a serving platter and present them beautifully! Serve immediately for an irresistible appetizer or a delightful snack that is sure to please.
