Ingredients
  

4 slices of rustic sourdough bread

1 cup of fresh ricotta cheese

2 ripe peaches, pitted and thinly sliced

2 tablespoons honey (or maple syrup for a vegan option)

1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice

1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

1/4 teaspoon cinnamon

Fresh mint leaves, for garnish

A sprinkle of sea salt

Instructions
 

Prepare the Ricotta Mixture: In a small bowl, combine the ricotta cheese, honey (or maple syrup), lemon juice, vanilla extract, and cinnamon. Mix well until smooth and creamy.

    Toast the Bread: Preheat a toaster oven or a grill pan over medium heat. Toast the sourdough bread slices until golden brown and crispy, about 3-4 minutes per side. Alternatively, you can use a regular oven at 400°F (200°C) for about 8 minutes or until crispy.

      Assemble the Toasts: Spread a generous layer of the ricotta mixture over each slice of toasted sourdough.

        Top with Peaches: Arrange the thinly sliced peaches artfully on top of the ricotta. Overlap them slightly to create a beautiful presentation.

          Finishing Touches: Drizzle any remaining honey or maple syrup over the peaches for added sweetness. Sprinkle a pinch of sea salt over the top to enhance the flavors.

            Garnish: Add fresh mint leaves on top for a burst of freshness and color.

              Serve: Enjoy immediately as a delightful breakfast or snack!
