     Lemon Ricotta Crostini with Honeyed Peaches

    We're lucky to have our own peach tree. We pick our peaches a few at a time as they become fully ripe. We thoroughly enjoy them in a host of different ways: in a smoothie bowl, in iced tea, in Sangria,  as a glaze for chicken, for dessert and today, with this Lemon Ricotta Crostini with Honeyed Peaches.

    🛒 Ingredients

    • baguette, gluten-free if necessary
    • olive oil 
    • ricotta cheese
    • lemon zest
    • peach
    • fresh thyme sprigs
    • honey for drizzling

    🔪 Instructions

    1. Brush baguettes slices lightly with extra-virgin olive oil. Bake at 375°F for 7 – 8 minutes, turning over halfway through until golden brown. They should be crispy on the outside but still a little tender in the interior.
    2. Combine the ricotta cheese and lemon zest.
    3. Spread the cheese on the crostini, top with a peach slice, a drizzle of honey and a few fresh thyme leaves and serve!

    Make ahead

    You can toast the crostini a day or two in advance and store them in a covered container. You can also combine the ricotta cheese with the lemon zest and store this mixture in the fridge. Then all you'll have to do before serving is slice the peaches and assemble the crostini!

    Enjoy, everyone!
