Ingredients
  

4 slices of rustic whole grain bread

1 cup fresh ricotta cheese

2 ripe peaches, sliced

2 tablespoons honey (preferably local)

1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice

1 tablespoon olive oil

¼ teaspoon sea salt

½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

Fresh basil leaves for garnish

Optional: crushed pistachios or walnuts for added crunch

Instructions
 

Toast the Bread: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Place the slices of whole grain bread on a baking sheet, brush them lightly with olive oil, and toast in the oven for about 8-10 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy.

    Prepare the Ricotta: In a medium bowl, mix the ricotta with lemon juice, sea salt, and freshly ground black pepper until creamy and well-combined. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.

      Sauté the Peaches: In a small pan, heat a teaspoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add the peach slices and sauté for about 2-3 minutes until they start to soften slightly and caramelize. Drizzle with a tablespoon of honey while cooking for an extra layer of sweetness.

        Assemble the Toast: Once the bread is toasted, spread a generous layer of the seasoned ricotta over each slice. Top with the warm sautéed peaches.

          Drizzle and Garnish: Drizzle additional honey over the assembled toasts for extra sweetness. Garnish with fresh basil leaves and, if desired, sprinkle crushed pistachios or walnuts for added crunch.

            Serve and Enjoy: Serve immediately while the toast is warm and enjoy this delightful combination of sweet and savory flavors!
