Ingredients
  

2 medium ripe peaches, sliced into thin wedges

1 cup fresh ricotta cheese, ideally at room temperature

2 tablespoons honey (plus more for drizzling)

1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

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

2 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened to room temperature

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 mixing bowl, combine the fresh ricotta cheese, 2 tablespoons of honey, vanilla extract, and a pinch of sea salt. Use a fork or whisk to mix the ingredients together 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. Spread a thin layer of softened butter on one side of each slice of bread. If using the skillet, place the bread, buttered side down, in the pan. Toast until the bread is golden brown and crispy, about 2-3 minutes per side. If broiling, place the bread on a baking sheet and toast under the broiler for about 2 minutes on each side, keeping a close eye to prevent burning.

      Assemble the Toast: Once all the bread slices are perfectly toasted, remove them carefully from the skillet or oven. Generously spread a thick layer of the ricotta mixture over each slice of toast.

        Add the Peaches: Arrange the thin peach slices artistically over the ricotta-covered toast, ensuring an even distribution for visual appeal.

          Drizzle with Honey: Drizzle a little extra honey over the peach slices, allowing it to cascade over the toast for a touch of sweetness.

            Garnish (optional): For added texture and flavor, sprinkle some crushed pistachios or walnuts atop the toast. Finish with fresh mint leaves for a touch of color and freshness.

              Serve: Enjoy your Peach Honey Ricotta Toast immediately, making it a delightful addition to brunch or a satisfying sweet snack at any time of the day!
