Description

This Quick Peach Bruschetta with Whipped Ricotta is a delightful appetizer that combines sweet ripe peaches, fresh tomatoes, and creamy ricotta for a refreshing bite.

Ingredients

Scale

1 baguette (thinly sliced into 1/2-inch pieces)

salt

4 garlic cloves (freshly minced for best flavor)

pepper

1/4 cup unsalted butter (I like Kerrygold for this)

2 tbsp olive oil (good quality extra virgin for richness)

handful fresh basil (sliced or chopped)

3 medium peaches (diced into 1/2-inch chunks)

1 pint chopped tomatoes

juice of 1/2 lemon

1 cup ricotta cheese (whole milk ricotta for creamier texture)

balsamic glaze (store-bought or homemade)

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Spread the baguette slices on a baking sheet, brush with melted butter, and season with salt, pepper, and minced garlic.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes or until golden and crispy.
In a bowl, combine diced peaches, chopped tomatoes, olive oil, lemon juice, and basil. Mix gently to combine flavors.
In another bowl, whip the ricotta cheese until smooth.
To assemble, spread whipped ricotta on each toasted baguette slice, top with the peach and tomato mixture, and drizzle with balsamic glaze.
Serve immediately and enjoy!

Notes

For even more flavor, feel free to add a sprinkle of sea salt or a few chili flakes to the topping.
