Ingredients
  

4 ripe peaches, diced

1 cup ricotta cheese

1 tablespoon honey (plus extra for drizzling)

1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 teaspoon fresh mint, chopped (plus extra for garnish)

1 French baguette, sliced into ½-inch thick pieces

2 tablespoons olive oil

Sea salt and freshly cracked black pepper, to taste

Instructions
 

Prepare the Peach Topping: In a bowl, combine the diced peaches, honey, lemon juice, vanilla extract, and chopped mint. Toss gently to mix, and let it sit for about 10 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.

    Toast the Baguette Slices: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Arrange the baguette slices on a baking sheet. Brush each slice lightly with olive oil and sprinkle with a pinch of sea salt. Bake for about 6-8 minutes, or until they are golden and crisp.

      Mix the Ricotta: In a separate bowl, whisk together the ricotta cheese with a bit of salt and pepper. This will serve as a creamy base for your bruschetta.

        Assemble the Bruschetta: Once the baguette slices are toasted, remove them from the oven. Spread a generous layer of the ricotta mixture on each slice. Top with a spoonful of the peach topping.

          Finish and Serve: Drizzle a touch of honey over each bruschetta and garnish with additional fresh mint. Serve immediately for a delightful summer appetizer!
