Description
A delicious and simple recipe featuring toasted ciabatta topped with whipped ricotta, fresh peaches, honey, and basil.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 loaf Ciabatta bread (Sliced into thick pieces for toasting)
- 2 medium Fresh peaches (Ripe, sliced thinly)
- 1 cup Ricotta cheese (For the creamy base)
- 2 tablespoons Honey (To sweeten the ricotta and drizzle)
- 1 handful Fresh basil (Chopped, for garnish)
- a pinch Salt (To enhance flavors)
- to taste Olive oil (For drizzling on the bread)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Take the sliced ciabatta bread and arrange it on a baking sheet. Drizzle a little olive oil over the top of the slices.
- Place the baking sheet in the oven and toast the bread for about 5-7 minutes, or until it’s golden brown and crispy.
- In a mixing bowl, add the ricotta cheese and honey. Use a whisk or hand mixer to whip the cheese until it’s light and fluffy.
- While the bread is toasting, slice the peaches into thin wedges.
- Once your bread is toasted, remove it from the oven. Spoon generous dollops of the whipped ricotta onto each slice.
- Top the whipped ricotta with the peach slices, arranging them artfully.
- Drizzle a little more honey on top, sprinkle with chopped fresh basil, and add a pinch of salt if desired.
- Serve immediately and watch them disappear!
Notes
- Enjoy the toast with a sprinkle of extra basil for added freshness.
