  • Total Time: 35 minutes
  • Yield: 2 servings

Ingredients

For the Roasted Peaches

  • 2 ripe peaches, sliced
  • 1 tablespoon light olive oil or any neutral flavored oil
  • A pinch of salt

For the Ricotta Spread

  • ½ cup ricotta cheese
  • 1-2 tablespoons honey, plus extra for drizzling
  • Juice and zest of half a lemon

For the Topping and Assembly

  • 2 tablespoons pistachios, chopped
  • 2 slices of whole-grain or sourdough bread
  • Fresh mint leaves (optional, for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Roast the Peaches: Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Toss the sliced peaches with olive oil and a pinch of salt, ensuring even coating. Spread them on a parchment-lined baking sheet and roast for 15 minutes, flipping halfway through, until soft and caramelized.
  2. Whip the Ricotta: While peaches roast, combine ricotta, lemon juice, lemon zest, and honey in a bowl. Whip using a hand mixer or whisk by hand until light and fluffy.
  3. Toast the Pistachios (Optional): Using a non-stick skillet over medium heat on the stovetop, dry-toast the chopped pistachios for 6 to 8 minutes, stirring continuously until they turn light brown and emit a nutty aroma. Remove from heat immediately.
  4. Toast the Bread: Toast the bread slices until golden brown using a toaster, griddle, or oven.
  5. Assemble the Toast: Spread a generous layer of honey-whipped ricotta on each toast slice. Top with roasted peaches, sprinkle chopped pistachios, drizzle extra honey, and garnish with fresh mint leaves if desired.
  6. Serve: Enjoy the Peach Ricotta Toast immediately for best flavor and texture.

Notes

  • Use ripe but firm peaches for the best roasting results.
  • Pistachio toasting enhances flavor but can be skipped if short on time.
  • Adjust honey quantity to taste or dietary preferences.
  • Fresh mint leaves add a refreshing aroma and color but can be omitted.
  • This recipe works well with either whole-grain or sourdough bread based on preference.
  • For a dairy-free version, substitute ricotta with a plant-based alternative.
