Ingredients
    For the Roasted Peaches:
  • 2 large peaches, pitted and sliced into wedges
  • 1 tbsp honey or maple syrup
  • 0.5 tbsp olive oil
  • 0.25 tsp ground cinnamon (optional)
  • Pinch of sea salt
    • For the Whipped Ricotta:
  • 1 cup whole milk ricotta cheese
  • 1 tbsp honey
  • 0.5 tsp vanilla extract (optional)
  • 1 of Zest lemon
  • Pinch of salt
    • For the Toast:
  • 4 slices of sourdough, ciabatta, or country-style bread
  • 1 tbsp olive oil or butter, for toasting
    • Optional Garnishes:
  • Fresh mint leaves
  • Crushed pistachios or almonds
  • Additional honey drizzle
Instructions
    Roast the Peaches
  1. 1
    Preheat the oven to 200°C. In a mixing bowl, toss peach slices with honey (or maple syrup), olive oil, cinnamon, and a pinch of sea salt. Spread them on a parchment-lined baking sheet in a single layer. Roast for 18–20 minutes, flipping halfway through, until caramelized and tender. Remove and let them cool slightly.
    2. Make the Whipped Ricotta
  2. 2
    While the peaches roast, prepare the whipped ricotta. In a food processor or using a hand mixer, combine ricotta, honey, vanilla extract, lemon zest, and a pinch of salt. Blend until smooth, airy, and creamy—about 1–2 minutes. Scrape down the sides as needed. Set aside.
    3. Toast the Bread
  3. 3
    Drizzle bread slices lightly with olive oil or brush with softened butter. Toast in a skillet over medium heat for 2–3 minutes per side or until golden brown and crisp. Alternatively, toast under a broiler or in a toaster oven.
    4. Assemble the Toast
  4. 4
    Spread a generous layer of whipped ricotta over each toasted slice. Arrange warm roasted peach slices on top. Finish with a drizzle of honey, sprinkle of nuts, and a few fresh mint leaves if desired.
    5. Serve Immediately
  5. 5
    Serve the toast warm or at room temperature. Enjoy it as a light brunch, snack, or even a rustic summer dessert.
Note

Make Ahead: Ricotta mixture can be made up to 2 days in advance and stored in the fridge.

Peach Substitutes: Try nectarines, plums, or figs for a seasonal variation.

Bread Choices: Use thick, hearty bread that holds toppings well. Brioche or rye adds unique flavor.

Savory Twist: Omit the honey and add a touch of olive oil and cracked black pepper to the ricotta for a more savory version.
