Ingredients
  

2 ripe peaches, thinly sliced

1 cup fresh ricotta cheese

2 tablespoons honey, plus extra for drizzling

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

4 slices of rustic bread (such as ciabatta or sourdough)

1 tablespoon olive oil

1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice

Pinch of salt

Fresh mint leaves for garnish (optional)

Cracked black pepper for a hint of spice (optional)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Ricotta Mixture: In a mixing bowl, add the ricotta cheese, 2 tablespoons of honey, vanilla extract, lemon juice, and a pinch of salt. Use a spatula or whisk to mix the ingredients together until the mixture is smooth, creamy, and well combined. Set this delicious blend aside.

    Toast the Bread: Preheat your grill pan or toaster until hot. Lightly brush each slice of bread with olive oil on both sides. Place the slices on the grill pan or in the toaster and toast until they are golden brown and crispy. This should take about 2-4 minutes per side; keep an eye on them to prevent burning.

      Assemble the Toast: Once the bread is perfectly toasted, remove it from the pan or toaster. Spread a generous and even layer of the ricotta mixture over each slice of bread, ensuring each piece is well-covered for maximum flavor.

        Add the Peaches: Neatly arrange the thinly sliced peaches on top of the ricotta spread. Overlap the slices slightly for a beautiful presentation.

          Drizzle with Honey: To enhance the natural sweetness of the peaches, drizzle a little extra honey over the top. This will not only add flavor but also give a shiny finish.

            Garnish: For an unexpected touch, sprinkle a few cracks of black pepper over the peaches, adding a delightful contrast to the sweetness. If desired, finish with fresh mint leaves for a pop of color and refreshing flavor.

              Serve: Serve this delightful toast immediately as a breakfast, brunch, or decadent snack that is sure to impress friends and family!
