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, in tiny Mason jars, as a glaze for chicken, for dessert and today, with this Lemon Ricotta Crostini with Honeyed Peaches.

How to Make Lemon Ricotta Crostini with Honeyed Peaches

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.
2. Combine 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!

Enjoy, everyone!
