Ingredients
  

  • 2 large ripe peaches diced
  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves plus extra for garnish
  • 1 cup ricotta cheese
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil plus extra for drizzling
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 French baguette sliced into 1/2-inch thick pieces
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Arrange the baguette slices on a baking sheet and brush both sides with olive oil. Bake for about 5-7 minutes, or until golden and crispy.
  2. In a medium bowl, combine the diced peaches, honey, lemon juice, thyme, salt, and pepper. Toss gently to mix and set aside to let the flavors meld.
  3. In another bowl, beat the ricotta cheese with a hand mixer until smooth and creamy. Add olive oil and vanilla extract, mixing until well combined. Season with a pinch of salt.
  4. Once the baguette slices are toasted, spread a generous amount of whipped ricotta on each slice.
  5. Top the ricotta with the peach mixture, ensuring an even distribution of peaches on each bruschetta.
  6. Garnish with additional thyme leaves and a drizzle of olive oil before serving.
