Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 baguette, thinly sliced
  • ¼ cup unsalted butter
  • 4 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 pint grape or cherry tomatoes, chopped
  • 3 medium ripe peaches, diced
  • 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • ½ lemon, freshly squeezed
  • 1 big handful fresh basil leaves, chopped or chiffonade
  • 1 cup ricotta cheese
  • Balsamic glaze (optional)
  • Kosher salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F or heat grill to high.
  2. Slice baguette into ½-inch slices. In a bowl, mash together softened butter and half of the minced garlic. Add a pinch of salt and mix well.
  3. Spread garlic butter onto bread slices and place on a baking sheet.
  4. Bake for 10–12 minutes or grill for 1–2 minutes until golden and crisp.
  5. In a separate bowl, combine chopped tomatoes, diced peaches, and remaining garlic. Add olive oil, lemon juice, salt, and pepper. Toss to combine and chill for 10–15 minutes.
  6. Place ricotta in a food processor and whip until light and airy. Set aside.
  7. Just before serving, stir fresh basil into the tomato-peach mix.
  8. Spread whipped ricotta on each toasted slice of bread.
  9. Top with a spoonful of peach-tomato mixture. Drizzle with balsamic glaze if desired. Serve immediately.

Notes

  • Use ripe but firm peaches for the best texture.
  • You can prepare components ahead but assemble just before serving.
  • Optional: Add hot honey or swap ricotta with goat cheese for variation.
  • DIY platter-style serving works great for parties.
