Ingredients
  

4 slices of artisanal bread (sourdough or whole-grain preferred)

1 cup fresh ricotta cheese

2 ripe peaches, pitted and thinly sliced

2 tablespoons honey (plus extra for drizzling)

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice

Pinch of sea salt

Fresh mint leaves for garnish (optional)

Crushed pistachios or almonds for topping (optional)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Ricotta Mixture: In a medium bowl, combine the ricotta cheese, honey, vanilla extract, lemon juice, and a pinch of sea salt. Mix until everything is well incorporated and creamy. Set aside.

    Toast the Bread: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Place the slices of bread on a baking sheet and lightly brush each side with olive oil. Toast in the oven for about 10-15 minutes, or until the bread is golden brown and slightly crisp.

      Sauté the Peaches (optional): For a warm twist, heat a small skillet over medium heat and add the sliced peaches. Sauté for 2-3 minutes until they soften slightly. Set aside.

        Assemble the Toasts: Spread a generous layer of the ricotta mixture on each slice of toasted bread. Arrange the peach slices on top in an inviting manner.

          Drizzle with Honey: Drizzle additional honey over the peaches for added sweetness.

            Garnish: If desired, sprinkle crushed pistachios or almonds over the top for crunch and finish with fresh mint leaves for a pop of color.

              Serve: Enjoy your Peach Honey Ricotta Toast immediately while it's warm and fresh!
