Experience peak summer with this Best Peach Bruschetta. Golden toast, fresh ripe peaches, and light, fluffy whipped ricotta sweetened with honey create a blissful bite.

  • Total Time: 35 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 baguette (about 12–14 inches)
  • 3–4 ripe fresh peaches
  • 1 cup whole milk ricotta cheese
  • 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons honey (divided)
  • 1/4 cup fresh basil leaves, finely chopped
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
  • Pinch of sea salt

Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Slice the baguette into 1/2-inch thick rounds. Arrange the slices on a baking sheet, brush lightly with olive oil, and sprinkle with a tiny pinch of sea salt. Bake for 8-10 minutes, or until golden brown and slightly crisp. Let cool slightly.
  2. Step 2: While the bread bakes, prepare the whipped ricotta. In a small bowl, combine the ricotta cheese with 1 tablespoon of honey and a tiny pinch of sea salt. Using a fork or a small whisk, whip the mixture for 1-2 minutes until it's light, smooth, and fluffy.
  3. Step 3: Wash and pit the fresh peaches, then dice them into small, uniform pieces. In a separate medium bowl, gently toss the diced peaches with the remaining 1 tablespoon of honey, the fresh lemon juice, and the finely chopped fresh basil.
  4. Step 4: To assemble the bruschetta, spread a generous spoonful of the whipped ricotta onto each toasted baguette slice.
  5. Step 5: Top each ricotta-covered bruschetta with a spoonful of the peach and basil mixture. Serve immediately for the best flavor and texture.

Notes

  • To avoid sogginess, store toasted bread and whipped ricotta separately in airtight containers for up to a day; the fresh peach mixture is always best prepared right before serving.
  • Assembled bruschetta doesn't reheat well; if you have stored components, refresh the bread in a low oven until crisp and re-whip the ricotta before reassembling for a fresh taste.
  • This versatile bruschetta shines as a delightful summer appetizer, a sophisticated addition to brunch, or even a light, refreshing dessert; try pairing it with a chilled sparkling grape juice with vinegar.
  • The secret to that luxurious, cloud-like base is using whole milk ricotta and really taking your time to whip it until it's light and airy – it makes every bite incredibly smooth.
