Ingredients
  

  • 4 ripe peaches diced
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • 1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves plus extra for garnish
  • 8 ounces ricotta cheese
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 French baguette sliced into 1/2-inch rounds
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F. Arrange the baguette slices on a baking sheet and brush one side with olive oil. Bake for about 5-7 minutes, or until golden and crispy.
  2. In a mixing bowl, combine the diced peaches, lemon juice, honey, thyme leaves, salt, and pepper. Gently toss to combine and set aside to let the flavors meld for about 10 minutes.
  3. In another bowl, whip the ricotta cheese until smooth and creamy. You can use a hand mixer or a fork for this step.
  4. Once the baguette slices are toasted, remove them from the oven and let them cool slightly. Spread a generous layer of whipped ricotta on each slice.
  5. Top the ricotta with the peach mixture, ensuring each bruschetta is well-covered. Garnish with additional thyme leaves if desired.
  6. Serve immediately and enjoy!
