Special Equipment

  • Pastry brush
  • Bread knife or serrated knife
  • Medium-sized spoon (for plating)

Ingredients

  • 16 ounces Ricotta cheese (or substitute goat cheese if desired) 
  • 1 Each French Baguette
  • 4-6 Tbsp. Butter (½-1 stick)
  • 2 Each Fresh, ripe Peaches (or substitute for seasonal fruit like figs)
  • As Needed Honey Hot honey or Balsamic glaze
  • To Garnish Fresh basil

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
  • In a small sauce pan, melt the butter on low heat.
  • Using a serrated bread knife cut the baguette on a bias/diagonal into ½ inch thick slices. Lay the slices in a single layer flat on a sheet pan.
  • Using the pastry brush, brush each slice of bread. Flip and brush the other side.
  • Bake in the oven until lightly toasted, about 13-15 minutes or so.
  • While the bread is baking, slice the fruit and finely chop the basil. (See YouTube tutorial)

“Build” the bruschetta:

  • Using the spoon, scoop about 1-2 T. of cheese and place on a piece of the bread. Repeat until all the cheese is used up.
  • Arrange the fruit on top of the cheese. Sprinkle with a little black pepper if desired.
  • Drizzle the top with honey or balsamic glaze. Top with fresh basil.
  • Enjoy immediately!
