Ingredients
Scale
- 1 baguette, sliced into 1/2-inch thick rounds
- 1 cup whole milk ricotta cheese
- 1/4 cup honey
- 2 ripe peaches, thinly sliced
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh mint
- 2 tablespoons balsamic glaze (optional)
Instructions
- Step 1: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Brush the baguette slices with olive oil and arrange them in a single layer on a baking sheet. Bake for 8-10 minutes, or until lightly golden and crisp.
- Step 2: In a medium bowl, gently combine the ricotta cheese, honey, and cinnamon. Stir until well combined but avoid overmixing.
- Step 3: Spread a generous spoonful of the ricotta mixture onto each toasted baguette slice.
- Step 4: Arrange several slices of fresh peach on top of the ricotta mixture on each crostini.
- Step 5: Garnish each crostini with a sprinkle of fresh mint. Drizzle with balsamic glaze, if desired.
- Step 6: Serve immediately and enjoy!
Notes
- Store leftover crostini in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days, or freeze them for longer storage.
- For a warm, gooey treat, briefly reheat the crostini in a 350°F oven for 3-5 minutes before serving.
- These crostini make a delightful appetizer or a light and elegant dessert, perfect for brunches, parties, or a romantic evening.
- To prevent the peaches from releasing excess moisture and making the crostini soggy, gently pat them dry with a paper towel before arranging them on the ricotta.
